The estimate for 7 Windmill Cottages is modelled from its 144 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ME3 9SP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

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.
