Overview

About 1 Furlong Cottages

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 Furlong Cottages is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Minsterley, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY5 0AF). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £236,000 is 40.5% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£135/sq ft) was about 16.6% below the postcode norm. Last sold in February 2017, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
