About 1 Hill View Cottage
1 Hill View Cottage is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in East Brabourne, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 5LR). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows an F (score 25), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 76 m² it sits well below the postcode median (179 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2011–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 24.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £397,000 is 39.3% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£348/sq ft) was about 39.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in May 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
