8 Malt House Cottage is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Boughton Aluph, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 4EX). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £409,000 is 48.7% above the 2007 sale price.
