Overview

About Kentenville

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

Kentenville is a detached house in Higham, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 7EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 237 m² (around 2551 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2019) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 237 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £843,000 is 46.6% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£225/sq ft) was about 29.2% below the postcode norm.
