About Lakeside
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Lakeside is a detached house in High Halden, Ashford, Ashford (TN26 3JF). It has a recorded floor area of 379 m² (around 4080 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
At 379 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
