About The Grange
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Grange is a detached house in Kenardington, Ashford, Ashford (TN26 2LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £398,000 is 34.2% below the 2015 sale of £605,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£669/sq ft) was about 346.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 8 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). 11 years since the last transfer (April 2015).
