Overview

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 16 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 £653,000 sits 58.5% above the 2009 sale of £412,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£175/sq ft) was about 15.4% below the postcode norm.
