About Springhill Farm
Springhill Farm is a detached house in Benenden, Cranbrook, Cranbrook (TN17 4LA). It has a recorded floor area of 364 m² (around 3918 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since August 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 34 planning records sit against the property, 30 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
