About 6 Kingsdown Cottages

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

6 Kingsdown Cottages is a semi-detached house in Kingsdown, Sittingbourne, Sittingbourne (ME9 0RB). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 17 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.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.
