About The Green Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Green Cottage is a detached house in Barlaston, Stoke-On-Trent, Stoke On Trent (ST12 9AG). It has a recorded floor area of 209 m² (around 2250 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 4 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 209 m² the property is well over the postcode median (141 m² across 9 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. Sold April 2022 for £750,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 1998–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £832,000 is 10.9% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£333/sq ft) was about 46.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 The Green Cottage is modelled from its 209 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ST12 9AG. 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. 5 sales are recorded for The Green 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 The Green Cottage was lodged in January 2016 at band F and expired in January 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to The Green 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 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ST12 9AG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The Green 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.
