Kingsnorth is a detached house in High Halstow, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 8QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 177 m² (around 1905 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. At 177 m² the property is well over the postcode median (105 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2003–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.4% per year.
