About Rose Bank Cottage
Rose Bank Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in St. Martins, Oswestry, Oswestry (SY11 3AN). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89). The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2005, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. At 151 m² the property is well over the postcode median (44 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

Today's modelled estimate of £342,000 sits 90% above the 2005 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£111/sq ft) was about 45.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
