Overview

About 1 Queens Cottages

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

1 Queens Cottages is a semi-detached house in Lapley, Stafford, Stafford (ST19 9JX). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows an F (score 22), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 86 m² it's 15.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (102 m² median across 4 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £292,000 sits 74.3% above the 2013 sale of £167,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£181/sq ft) was about 32.3% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in February 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
