Overview

About 4 Oaks Forstal

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

4 Oaks Forstal is a three-bedroom detached house in Sandhurst, Cranbrook, Cranbrook (TN18 5JR). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2023) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 151 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 19.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £700,000 is 40% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£308/sq ft) was about 50.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
