About 7 Hill Court

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

7 Hill Court is a five-bedroom detached house in Chattenden, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 8LH). It has a recorded floor area of 250 m² (around 2691 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E.

Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75).
