About Boughton Malherbe
Boughton Malherbe is a detached house in Sandway, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 2BD). It has a recorded floor area of 693 m² (around 7458 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 693 m² the property is well over the postcode median (117 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £2,472,000 sits 280.3% above the 1999 sale of £650,000.
