About 1 The Hurstones
1 The Hurstones is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Alton, Stoke-On-Trent, Stoke On Trent (ST10 4AP). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 78 m² it sits well below the postcode median (127 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. Today's modelled estimate of £271,000 is 46.5% above the 2013 sale price.
