About Alma House
Alma House is a detached house in Hawkhurst, Cranbrook, Cranbrook (TN18 4AG). It has a recorded floor area of 247 m² (around 2659 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 59), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 247 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sold in May 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Today's modelled estimate of £759,000 is 30.9% above the 2015 sale price.
