About The Hurstones
The Hurstones is a detached house in Alton, Stoke-On-Trent, Stoke On Trent (ST10 4AP). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 49). The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £445,000 sits 53.4% above the 2009 sale of £290,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2012.
