About 2 Hovendens
2 Hovendens is a three-bedroom detached house in Sissinghurst, Cranbrook, Cranbrook (TN17 2LA). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 1997, a hold of 29 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 £441,000 sits 278.5% above the 1997 sale of £116,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£92/sq ft) was about 66.9% below the postcode norm. At 118 m² it's 15.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (102 m² median across 15 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs).
