About Heather Bank
Heather Bank is a detached house in Sandhurst, Cranbrook, Cranbrook (TN18 5NR). It has a recorded floor area of 165 m² (around 1776 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £742,000 sits 274.7% above the 1995 sale of £198,000.
