Overview

About 1 Forge Lane

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

1 Forge Lane is a five-bedroom detached house in Headcorn, Ashford, Ashford (TN27 9QG). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1658 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2017) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).

It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 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. At 154 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £510,000 sits 240% above the 2007 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£90/sq ft) was about 75.2% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
