About Sparrow Hatch
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Sparrow Hatch is a three-bedroom detached house in Bilting, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 4HF). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.
Last sale on file: £522,000 in November 2021. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2006–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.1% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£458/sq ft) was about 86.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 106 m² it's 29.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (151 m² median across 15 EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Sparrow Hatch is modelled from its 106 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 4HF. 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. 4 sales are recorded for Sparrow Hatch. 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 Sparrow Hatch was lodged in June 2014 at band D and expired in June 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. 5 applications are matched to Sparrow Hatch. 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 2 schools and 18 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN25 4HF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Sparrow Hatch is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
