Overview

About Shepherds Cottage

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

Shepherds Cottage is a detached house in Gillingham (SP8 4BL). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in November 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £343,000 is 44.1% above the 2007 sale price.
