Tates Orchard

Info > Places > Q-Z

KCC Road Number: U15349 - Unclassified single carriageway (113 metres long).

The nine bungalows of Tates Orchard is one of Hartley's newer roads, having been built in 1984/5 on part of the gardens of Trevone and Ethelbert in Ash Road by St Mary Cray firm Foven Construction Limited. However it wasn't the first attempt to develop the land, for Wards Construction (Medway) Ltd withdrew an application to develop in 1973.

The road is named after the Tate family who figured greatly in the 20th century history of Hartley and who owned the neighbouring houses, and who had sold the land for Trevone and Ethelbert to be built in 1934.

Information about the Houses

Updated 1.5.23

Explanation:

This is information collected from various sources about the houses, divided as follows:

(1) Description - this has mostly been drawn from sale adverts and observation from the road. Names of properties are included if the road is not numbered or the name appears as well as the number in the offical Royal Mail address. Changes of name and the date, where known, are also included here.

(2) Building History - the date of construction is sometimes approximate as it is based on the property appearing in the electoral register or the subject of a planning permission etc.

(3) Rates and Council Tax - the rates registers for 1956, 1963 and 1972 are held by Sevenoaks Council. I have included the gross rateable value, that is the amount it was thought the property could be rented out for. For some reason the 1956 valuation is actually what the rental would have been in 1939. The rateable value was then subject to certain statutory deductions and this figure is what people paid rates upon. Council tax was introduced in 1993, the value was (and still is) what it was believed the property would have sold for on 1 April 1991. However significant building works means it can be increased when the property is next sold and this is shown by "improvement indicator".

(4) Sales and Rents - mostly from property adverts and Land Registry records. Of course those based on adverts may not be the price it actually sold for. There are some cases of property valuations for mortgages from Dartford Rural District Council. House price data 1995 to date produced by Land Registry © Crown copyright 2023. To report an error, go to Change a sales record form.

(5) Site history - this contains a selection of records which demonstrate which farm and field the property stands upon.

I have tried to make sure the information is accurate, but no responsibility can be taken for any errors. If you plan to rely on the information, you should check the source data to be sure. If you spot an error, please let me know via the contact form.
