About Little Ranters Oast
Little Ranters Oast is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Rolvenden, Cranbrook, Cranbrook (TN17 4JE). It has a recorded floor area of 187 m² (around 2013 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 3-band jump.
It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 187 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £773,000 is 47% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£261/sq ft) was about 15.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2007.
