About Springhill Oast
Springhill Oast is a detached house in Benenden, Cranbrook, Cranbrook (TN17 4LA). It has a recorded floor area of 183 m² (around 1974 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows a G (score 17), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £838,000 is 23.8% below the 2016 sale of £1,100,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£557/sq ft) was about 51.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 183 m² the property is well over the postcode median (140 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 19 planning records sit against the property, 11 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. 10 years since the last transfer (June 2016).
