About Nettlestead House
Nettlestead House is a five-bedroom detached house in Stockbury, Sittingbourne, Sittingbourne (ME9 7UB). It has a recorded floor area of 171 m² (around 1845 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Other recorded features include a basement. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 171 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 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). 9 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 6 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 1995–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Sold January 2021 for £950,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
