Overview

About 23 Church Farm Close

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

23 Church Farm Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Hoo, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 9AY). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £399,000 sits 60.9% above the 2008 sale of £248,000. At 83 m² it's 20.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (69 m² median across 15 EPCs).
