Overview

About 8 Cosway Cottage

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

8 Cosway Cottage is a semi-detached house in Bilsington, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 7JU). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since April 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 57), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on bottled lpg. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 113 m² it's 21.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (93 m² median across 11 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £349,000 sits 54.1% above the 2013 sale of £226,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 22.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in August 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Cosway Cottage is modelled from its 113 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TN25 7JU. 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 8 Cosway 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 8 Cosway Cottage was lodged in March 2014 at band F and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Cosway 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. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from TN25 7JU. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Cosway Cottage is in council tax band C. 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.
