Overview

About Magnolia Cottage

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

Magnolia Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Challock, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 4AU). It has a recorded floor area of 189 m² (around 2034 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

At 189 m² the property is well over the postcode median (126 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £670,000 is 13.6% above the 2021 sale price. Sold March 2021 for £590,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
