Dormers is a detached house in Challock, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 4DW). It has a recorded floor area of 267 m² (around 2874 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since September 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 267 m² the property is well over the postcode median (189 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £1,030,000 sits 131.5% above the 2003 sale of £445,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£155/sq ft) was about 45.7% below the postcode norm. 8 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include partial demolition, an extension, a garage conversion and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
