2 Lower Ash Road, Kidsgrove, Stoke On Trent, ST7 1DF

2 Lower Ash Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Kidsgrove, Stoke-On-Trent, Stoke On Trent (ST7 1DF). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 82 m² the property is well over the postcode median (63 m² across 26 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. Today's modelled estimate of £127,000 is 21% above the 2007 sale price.
