About Heronden

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

Heronden is a seven-bedroom detached house in Chart Sutton, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 3EZ). It has a recorded floor area of 529 m² (around 5694 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (July 2025) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2025); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on oil.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 529 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 7 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £788,000 sits 118.9% above the 2007 sale of £360,000. 13 planning records sit against the property, 11 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
