About North Bank Cottage

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

North Bank Cottage is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bredgar, Sittingbourne, Sittingbourne (ME9 8ES). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1212 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 47). The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. At 113 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2020. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 1998–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £588,000 is 40% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£347/sq ft) was about 36.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
