About Coppice Mews
Coppice Mews is a one-bedroom detached house in Tunbridge Wells (TN2 5HT). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 556 sq ft) and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2008) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (145 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. 11 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 4 refused. Today's modelled estimate of £260,000 is 31.6% above the 2008 sale price.
