2 Tile Lodge Cottages is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Charing Heath, Ashford, Ashford (TN27 0BY). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a G (score 20), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £286,000 sits 52.1% above the 2008 sale of £188,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
