Overview

About 1 Douglas Road

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

1 Douglas Road is a semi-detached house in Lenham, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 2QL). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £324,000 sits 59.6% above the 2007 sale of £203,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
