Overview

About 26 High Street

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

26 High Street is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Lenham, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 2QD). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 660 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a basement and a loft. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (January 2011) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It changed hands recently, sold January 2026 for £352,500. At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (100 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2026, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.9% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£534/sq ft) was about 150.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
