4 Essella Park, Essella Road, Ashford, TN24 8AQ

4 Essella Park is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ashford (TN24 8AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 976 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 91 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 35 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 sits 60% above the 2009 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£174/sq ft) was about 22.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
