Overview

About 18 Barrow Hill Cottages

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

18 Barrow Hill Cottages is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ashford (TN23 1NG). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2020) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).

It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £213,000 is 46.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£249/sq ft) was about 23.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
