About Mill House
Mill House is an end-of-terrace house in Higham, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 7ND). It has a recorded floor area of 207 m² (around 2228 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2011); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 207 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £909,000 sits 175.5% above the 2000 sale of £330,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£148/sq ft) was about 56% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
