Overview

About 9 Kesteven Close

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

9 Kesteven Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Halling, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 1LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since April 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1997–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £363,000 sits 86.2% above the 2010 sale of £195,000. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2025. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 82 m² it's 24.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (109 m² median across 3 EPCs).
