Overview

About Yew Tree Cottage

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

Yew Tree Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Challock, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 4DN). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 2010, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £686,000 is 39.4% above the 2010 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£519/sq ft) was about 53.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Yew Tree Cottage is modelled from its 88 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 4DN. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Yew Tree 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 Yew Tree Cottage was lodged in November 2014 at band D and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Yew Tree 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 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN25 4DN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
