About 2 Richborough Drive
2 Richborough Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Strood, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 3LU). It has a recorded floor area of 175 m² (around 1884 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record.
At 175 m² the property is well over the postcode median (128 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £630,000 sits 53.7% above the 2015 sale of £409,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£218/sq ft) was about 26.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in August 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
