Overview

About Crowbourne Farm

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

Crowbourne Farm is a detached house in Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Cranbrook (TN17 1ET). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2023) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (April 2012); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 49), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since July 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 £1,095,000 sits 75.2% above the 1998 sale of £625,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£952/sq ft) was about 57.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 27 planning records sit against the property, 16 approved, 5 refused. Past consents include new windows and a basement excavation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
