Overview

About 1 Elmstead Court Cottage

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

1 Elmstead Court Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Elmsted, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 5JN). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E.

Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

Today's modelled estimate of £488,000 sits 75.5% above the 2007 sale of £278,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Elmstead Court Cottage is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 5JN. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Elmstead Court 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 1 Elmstead Court Cottage was lodged in October 2019 at band D and is valid until October 2029. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 1 Elmstead Court 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 2 schools and 8 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN25 5JN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Elmstead Court Cottage 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.
