Overview

About Cresswell Cottage

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

Cresswell Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Biddulph Moor, Stoke-On-Trent, Stoke On Trent (ST8 7HP). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1441 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 46). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in April 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £348,000 sits 319.3% above the 1996 sale of £83,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£58/sq ft) was about 64.1% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Cresswell Cottage is modelled from its 134 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in ST8 7HP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Cresswell Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Cresswell Cottage was lodged in February 2010 at band F and expired in February 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Cresswell Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from ST8 7HP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Cresswell Cottage is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
