Overview

About Golford House

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

Golford House is a four-bedroom detached house in Cranbrook (TN17 3NT). It has a recorded floor area of 445 m² (around 4790 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 445 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in August 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Across 1998–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,945,000 is 28.4% above the 2015 sale price.
