Overview

About 1 Birch Drive

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

1 Birch Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Hanwood, Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury (SY5 8RG). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2012) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since May 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1997–2003, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £377,000 sits 126.4% above the 2003 sale of £166,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£111/sq ft) was about 46.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 139 m² it's 21% larger than the typical home in the postcode (115 m² median across 7 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs).
