About 3 Birch Row

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

3 Birch Row is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Pontesbury, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY5 0QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 15 m² (around 162 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 15 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (15–51 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 15 m² it sits well below the postcode median (50 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2013. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 15 years since the last transfer (July 2011).
