About Thornfield
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Thornfield is a semi-detached house in Bicton, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY3 8EU). It has a recorded floor area of 219 m² (around 2359 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1991-1995. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 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. At 219 m² the property is well over the postcode median (143 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £606,000 is 47.1% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£175/sq ft) was about 15.4% below the postcode norm.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Thornfield is modelled from its 219 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SY3 8EU. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Thornfield. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Thornfield was lodged in January 2009 at band E and expired in January 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.
