About Pear Tree House
Pear Tree House is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Hothfield, Ashford, Ashford (TN26 1AN). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a self-contained annexe. Period features are noted in the property record.
One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Last sold in August 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Across 1996–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £587,000 is 43.2% above the 2014 sale price.
