About Longfield Cottage

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

Longfield Cottage is a semi-detached house in Westwell, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 4LH). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Sold June 2021 for £599,995. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
