About 17 Cottenham Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Cottenham Close is a three-bedroom detached house in East Malling, West Malling, West Malling (ME19 6BY). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2015. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
