Overview

About 1a

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

1a is a detached house in Cuxton, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 1LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 184 m² (around 1985 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2011 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 184 m² the property is well over the postcode median (62 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
