About 48 Charles Drive
48 Charles Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cuxton, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 1DR). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in December 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since October 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £352,000 sits 225.9% above the 2000 sale of £108,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£121/sq ft) was about 53.4% below the postcode norm. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs).
