Overview

About 12 Beech Grove

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

12 Beech Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Higham, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 7BB). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 111 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £416,000 is 38.7% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£251/sq ft) was about 25.6% below the postcode norm. Last sold in September 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
