16 Mountbatten Way, Brabourne Lees, Ashford, TN25 6PZ

16 Mountbatten Way is a five-bedroom detached house in Brabourne Lees, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 6PZ). It has a recorded floor area of 190 m² (around 2045 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2022) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since May 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 190 m² the property is well over the postcode median (139 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £663,000 sits 70.9% above the 2008 sale of £388,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 19.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
