About 2 Bensted
2 Bensted is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Ashford (TN23 5YQ). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 605 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
