About The Hollies
The Hollies is a detached house in Hartlip, Sittingbourne, Sittingbourne (ME9 7TR). It has a recorded floor area of 366 m² (around 3940 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 366 m² the property is well over the postcode median (163 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion, an annexe and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sold in February 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1997–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,093,000 is 24.9% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£222/sq ft) was about 20.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
