Overview

About Forge House

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

Forge House is a three-bedroom detached house in Challock, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 4BS). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1698 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £722,000 sits 53.6% above the 2010 sale of £470,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£277/sq ft) was about 38.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
