2 Croft Road, Ware, SG12 0BD

2 Croft Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ware (SG12 0BD). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in November 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since February 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 123 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £591,000 sits 913.7% above the 1996 sale of £58,300. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£44/sq ft) was about 86.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
