5 Buckthorn Close is a detached house in Hednesford, Cannock, Cannock (WS12 4SX). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump.

It hasn't traded since May 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 71 m² it's 19.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (89 m² median across 10 EPCs).

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£78/sq ft) was about 58.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
