Overview

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.

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.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Delft Lodge is modelled from its 93 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 6NW. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Delft Lodge. 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 Delft Lodge 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 Delft Lodge. 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 2 schools and 22 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN25 6NW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Delft Lodge is in council tax band E. 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.
