West House Farm Cottage is a detached house in Shilvington, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE20 0AR). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1561 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 3 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 98), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. 6 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused, 2 pending. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An active application for an extension is awaiting a decision. Today's modelled estimate of £435,000 sits 112.1% above the 2009 sale of £205,075.
