About 2 Home Barns Cottages
2 Home Barns Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Astley, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY4 4BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.
