Overview

About 7 Windmill Cottages

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

7 Windmill Cottages is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Lower Stoke, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 9SP). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1550 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since December 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

At 144 m² the property is well over the postcode median (105 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £380,000 sits 53.8% above the 2014 sale of £247,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in July 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.
