Lock Gate Bridge Cottage, Lower Frankton, Oswestry, SY11 4PB

Lock Gate Bridge Cottage is a detached house in Lower Frankton, Oswestry, Oswestry (SY11 4PB). It has a recorded floor area of 232 m² (around 2497 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2007 onwards. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 95), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £640,000 sits 80.3% above the 2009 sale of £355,000.
