About 1 Home Farm Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Home Farm Cottage is a semi-detached house in Hothfield, Ashford, Ashford (TN26 1DZ). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1078 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 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. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £424,000 is 41.3% above the 2009 sale price.
