About 5 Stour Close
5 Stour Close is a two-bedroom detached house in East Stour, Gillingham, Gillingham (SP8 5LL). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an F (score 23), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 41). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since January 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 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £319,000 sits 72.4% above the 2009 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 29.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
