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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2011–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 24.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £393,000 is 37.9% 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.
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
