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.

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 The Cottage is modelled from its 114 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 7DA. 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 The Cottage. 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 The Cottage was lodged in April 2016 at band F and expired in April 2026, 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. None is matched to The Cottage. 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 12 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN25 7DA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
The Cottage is in council tax band F. 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.
