1 Kent Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Halling, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 1AR). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2021) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in December 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since.

Held since January 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. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 28.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £325,000 sits 91.2% above the 2007 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£150/sq ft) was about 21.5% below the postcode norm. At 105 m² it's 29.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (81 m² median across 25 EPCs).
