About 17 Aston Road
17 Aston Road is a seven-bedroom detached house in Wem, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY4 5AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 258 m² (around 2777 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Untraded for 26 years, with the last transfer in July 2000. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 258 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). 7 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £507,000 sits 268.7% above the 2000 sale of £137,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£50/sq ft) was about 62.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
