Overview

About The Cottage

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

The Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Aldington, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 7DA). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an F (score 23), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and a loft. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

A recent sale: £575,000 in February 2026. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 2016–2026, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.3% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£469/sq ft) was about 125.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
