Overview

About 4 Bank Cottages

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

4 Bank Cottages is a semi-detached house in Dorrington, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY5 7JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since June 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 £212,000 sits 398.8% above the 1996 sale of £42,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£52/sq ft) was about 66.2% below the postcode norm. At 76 m² it's 24% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (100 m² median across 5 EPCs).
