Overview

About Dale Cottage

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

Dale Cottage is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Birstwith, Harrogate, Harrogate (HG3 2NJ). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (September 2018) shows a G (score 2), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot.

At 74 m² it sits well below the postcode median (171 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in July 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.
