Overview

About Dovecliffe Farm

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Dovecliffe Farm is a detached house in Rocester, Uttoxeter, Uttoxeter (ST14 5BX). It has a recorded floor area of 735 m² (around 7911 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1996-2002. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2016 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £953,000 is 13.4% below the 2018 sale of £1,100,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£139/sq ft) was about 39.9% below the postcode norm. At 735 m² the property is well over the postcode median (159 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sold in February 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.
