Straete House, Bank Road, Aldington, Ashford, TN25 7DE

Straete House is a four-bedroom detached house in Aldington, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 7DE). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1629 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 151 m² the property is well over the postcode median (109 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £526,000 sits 73% above the 2009 sale of £304,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
