About Crabtree
Crabtree is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Rolvenden, Cranbrook, Cranbrook (TN17 4JE). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1976-1982. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).
Held since May 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 141 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £643,000 is 40.7% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£301/sq ft) was about 15.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
