Overview

About Shepherds House

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

Shepherds House is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Aldington, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 7DT). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

12 planning records sit against the property, 12 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include solar panel installation, an extension, new windows and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 90 m² it sits well below the postcode median (137 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £355,000 is 38.1% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£265/sq ft) was about 25.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 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 Shepherds House is modelled from its 90 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 7DT. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Shepherds House. 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 Shepherds House was lodged in February 2019 at band D and is valid until February 2029. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 12 applications are matched to Shepherds House. 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 1 school and 12 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN25 7DT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Shepherds House is in council tax band D. 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.
