About Stroud Common Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Stroud Common Cottage is a detached house in Shamley Green, Guildford, Guildford (GU5 0SZ). It has a recorded floor area of 182 m² (around 1958 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 51). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 182 m² the property is well over the postcode median (116 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £1,076,000 sits 58.2% above the 2009 sale of £680,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£347/sq ft) was about 27.9% below the postcode norm.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Stroud Common Cottage is modelled from its 182 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GU5 0SZ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Stroud Common Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Stroud Common Cottage was lodged in March 2009 at band F and expired in March 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Stroud Common Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 17 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GU5 0SZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Stroud Common Cottage is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
