About Croft House

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

Croft House is a detached house in Brereton, Sandbach, Sandbach (CW11 2ST). It has a recorded floor area of 189 m² (around 2034 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2010. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 189 m² the property is well over the postcode median (138 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in May 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
