16 White Oak Drive is a two-bedroom detached house in Bishops Wood, Stafford, Stafford (ST19 9AH). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (October 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on bottled lpg. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £296,000 sits 85% above the 2013 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£248/sq ft) was about 17.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (97 m² across 29 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in December 2013, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
