Overview

About 21 Chester Avenue

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

21 Chester Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Tunbridge Wells (TN2 4TZ). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

At 112 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in October 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years. Across 1999–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £602,000 is 16.4% above the 2015 sale price.
