Overview

About 1 Bell Field

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

1 Bell Field is a five-bedroom detached house in Mersham, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 6NU). It has a recorded floor area of 264 m² (around 2842 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2022) returns an A (score 94), the top energy band on the EPC scale. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 264 m² it's 23.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (214 m² median across 15 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £917,000 is 49.1% above the 2009 sale price.
