About Ashton Cottage

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

Ashton Cottage is a two-bedroom detached house in Norbury, Bishops Castle, Bishops Castle (SY9 5DX). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
