1 Keepers Cottage, Platt, Sevenoaks, TN15 8TA

1 Keepers Cottage is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Platt, Sevenoaks, Sevenoaks (TN15 8TA). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.

It hasn't traded since October 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £580,000 sits 193.7% above the 1998 sale of £197,500. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
