Overview

About 8 Orchard Drive

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

8 Orchard Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Minsterley, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY5 0DG). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B.

Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Good.
