About Museum Cottage
Museum Cottage is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Gillingham (SP8 4DR). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£333/sq ft) was about 23.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £201,000 in October 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
