Overview

About 2 Beech Drive

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

2 Beech Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Hothfield, Ashford, Ashford (TN26 1EA). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2025) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on oil.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 64 m² the property is well over the postcode median (40 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £225,000 sits 150% above the 2009 sale of £90,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2026. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
