Home Farm Cottage, School Lane, Higham, Rochester, ME3 7JG

Home Farm Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Higham, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 7JG). It has a recorded floor area of 186 m² (around 2002 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in November 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 186 m² the property is well over the postcode median (49 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £968,000 sits 53.7% above the 2007 sale of £630,000. 7 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 4 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
