About Highfield
Highfield is a six-bedroom detached house in Milton On Stour, Gillingham, Gillingham (SP8 5QG). It has a recorded floor area of 174 m² (around 1873 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 43). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.
