Darland Cottage, Pear Tree Lane, Gillingham, ME7 3PP
About Darland Cottage
Darland Cottage is a detached house in Gillingham (ME7 3PP). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2025) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).
Held since October 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £398,000 sits 306.1% above the 2007 sale of £98,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 73.8% below the postcode norm. At 113 m² it sits well below the postcode median (177 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
