Overview

About 1 Chestnut Cottage

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

1 Chestnut Cottage is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Challock, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 4AT). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2017) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on house coal.

At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (200 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £293,000 is 23.4% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£362/sq ft) was about 102.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Chestnut Cottage is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 4AT. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 1 Chestnut Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 1 Chestnut Cottage was lodged in May 2017 at band F and is valid until May 2027. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 1 Chestnut Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 3 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN25 4AT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Chestnut Cottage is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
