Overview

About Midwood

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

Midwood is a three-bedroom detached house in Biddenden, Ashford, Ashford (TN27 8BY). It has a recorded floor area of 170 m² (around 1830 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since August 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a loft conversion, an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in May 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. At 170 m² it's 22% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (218 m² median across 6 EPCs). Across 2004–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £635,000 is 41.1% above the 2014 sale price.
