About Sorrow Cow Farm
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Sorrow Cow Farm is a detached house in Lowton, Warrington, Warrington (WA3 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £283,000 is 37.1% below the 2017 sale of £450,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On the market in July 2017 and unlisted since — roughly 9 years.
