Overview

About 1 Little Branden

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

1 Little Branden is a semi-detached house in Sissinghurst, Cranbrook, Cranbrook (TN17 2AB). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in February 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 76 m² it sits well below the postcode median (163 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 82% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in December 2013, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Today's modelled estimate of £442,000 is 38.1% above the 2013 sale price.
