About Oakhurst
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Oakhurst is a detached house in Pontesbury, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY5 0QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2024) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since August 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £345,000 sits 360% above the 1996 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£66/sq ft) was about 61.9% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).
