About Elizabeth House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Elizabeth House is a four-bedroom detached house in Bethersden, Ashford, Ashford (TN26 3AE). It has a recorded floor area of 171 m² (around 1841 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since June 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. Today's modelled estimate of £773,000 sits 56.2% above the 2009 sale of £495,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 171 m² it's 18.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (211 m² median across 4 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs).

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Elizabeth House is modelled from its 171 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TN26 3AE. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Elizabeth House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to Elizabeth House. 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 1 school and 9 stops listed are measured in a straight line from TN26 3AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Elizabeth House is in council tax band G. 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.
