Overview

About Cherry Cottage

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

Cherry Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Pontesbury, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY5 0QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in January 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
