About 2 Folly Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Folly Cottages is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Biddulph Moor, Stoke-On-Trent, Stoke On Trent (ST8 7JT). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows an F (score 22), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 103), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
