Overview

About The Old School House

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

The Old School House is a four-bedroom detached house in Challock, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 4BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 223 m² (around 2400 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 223 m² the property is well over the postcode median (165 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2001, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £760,000 sits 223.4% above the 2001 sale of £235,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£98/sq ft) was about 68% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

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 The Old School House is modelled from its 223 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 4BJ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for The Old School House. 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 The Old School House was lodged in May 2014 at band D and expired in May 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to The Old School House. 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 4BJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
