About Clifton Cottage

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

Clifton Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Stafford (ST17 4HG). It has a recorded floor area of 175 m² (around 1882 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. At 175 m² the property is well over the postcode median (121 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £336,000 sits 92% above the 2006 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 39.1% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021.
