13a, Hughes Drive, Wainscott, Rochester, ME2 4LN
About 13a
13a is a four-bedroom detached house in Wainscott, Rochester, Rochester (ME2 4LN). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2019) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since October 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. At 123 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £451,000 sits 88.7% above the 2007 sale of £239,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£181/sq ft) was about 32.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2006. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
