About 2 Hill Top
2 Hill Top is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Kington Magna, Gillingham, Gillingham (SP8 5ER). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony and outbuildings.
Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2008–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -5.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £351,000 sits 100.6% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£137/sq ft) was about 34.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
