Overview

About Chestnut Lodge

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

Chestnut Lodge is a detached house in Bilsington, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 7JU). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in April 2013 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). Main heating runs on bulk wood pellets. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 130 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £522,000 sits 68.4% above the 2013 sale of £310,000. 8 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 13 years ago, in September 2013.

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 Chestnut Lodge is modelled from its 130 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 Chestnut Lodge. 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 Chestnut Lodge was lodged in December 2015 at band C and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 6 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 8 applications are matched to Chestnut Lodge. 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
Chestnut Lodge 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.
