About 1 Chapel Place Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Chapel Place Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Lenham Heath, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 2BU). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £368,000 sits 67.3% above the 2007 sale of £220,000. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2008. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
