Overview

About Bracken Lodge

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

Bracken Lodge is a detached house in Challock, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 4DF). It has a recorded floor area of 188 m² (around 2024 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since May 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £835,000 sits 247.9% above the 2000 sale of £240,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£119/sq ft) was about 54.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
