How Ampleforth Drive, Stafford prices moved
The chart tracks the median Ampleforth Drive, Stafford house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2015. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 4 | £77,000 | £170,976 |
| 2000s | 6 | £154,000 | £280,543 |
| 2010s | 3 | £196,500 | £277,065 |
The highest yearly median on record for Ampleforth Drive, Stafford is £223,250 in 2007; the lowest is £71,500 in 1996. Across the full 20-year record the cash median has moved from £71,500 to £214,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £155,100, so the real change over the whole record is +95.0% — about +3.58% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +20.5% in cash against -6.7% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Ampleforth Drive, Stafford is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 150 | 98.7% | £165,000 | £62,500 – £415,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Ampleforth Drive, Stafford
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 152 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 152 | 100.0% | £163,000 |
A further 1 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in South Staffordshire at £947 a month as of Jun 2026 — £658 for a one-bedroom home and £1,006 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £163,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.97% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of ST17, 176 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 78 violent, 5 burglary, 3 vehicle-related and 38 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is about typical.
Against the 110,472 residents the 2021 census counted in South Staffordshire, that is 1.59 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.
