About 2 Blackthorn Crescent
2 Blackthorn Crescent is a two-bedroom detached house in Cannock (WS12 0SW). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.
At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £283,000 sits 55.5% above the 2014 sale of £182,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£128/sq ft) was about 49.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in May 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
