Overview

About 8 King Arthurs Drive

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

8 King Arthurs Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Strood, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 3LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £350,000 sits 94.4% above the 2007 sale of £180,000. At 76 m² it's 15.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (90 m² median across 10 EPCs).
