About Mill Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Mill Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Brook, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 5PE). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1647 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 153 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £586,000 sits 54.2% above the 2013 sale of £380,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£231/sq ft) was about 45.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 13 years ago, in November 2013.

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 Mill Cottage is modelled from its 153 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 5PE. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Mill 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 Mill Cottage was lodged in August 2013 at band D and expired in August 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Mill 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 3 schools and 5 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN25 5PE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Mill Cottage is in council tax band D. 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.
