About 7 Higham Road

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

7 Higham Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Cliffe, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 7SH). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1178 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 109 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2003–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £432,000 sits 79.3% above the 2012 sale of £241,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in November 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
