About Delft Lodge

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

Delft Lodge is a three-bedroom detached house in Mersham, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 6NW). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

Across 1997–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £422,000 sits 50.7% above the 2013 sale of £280,000. At 93 m² it sits well below the postcode median (241 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in November 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
