2 Birch Row is a semi-detached house in Pontesbury, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY5 0QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 50 m² this is the 5th smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 15–51 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
