About 17 Francis Road

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

17 Francis Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ashford (TN23 7UP). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 70).

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in November 2007. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.
