About Sundial Cottage

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

Sundial Cottage is a detached house in Langham, Gillingham, Gillingham (SP8 5NX). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). Main heating runs on lpg. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
