Overview

About Gorsewood

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

Gorsewood is a four-bedroom detached house in Kingsnorth, Ashford, Ashford (TN26 1NQ). It has a recorded floor area of 189 m² (around 2034 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E.

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 Gorsewood is modelled from its 189 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in TN26 1NQ. 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. 4 sales are recorded for Gorsewood. 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 Gorsewood was lodged in March 2016 at band D and expired in March 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Gorsewood. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN26 1NQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Gorsewood is in council tax band E. 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.
