About Greenwood House

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

Greenwood House is a five-bedroom detached house in Birstwith, Harrogate, Harrogate (HG3 2NJ). It has a recorded floor area of 422 m² (around 4541 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows a G (score 20), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 21). The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.

Untraded for 15 years, with the last transfer in March 2011. At 422 m² the property is well over the postcode median (136 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £2,511,000 is 43.9% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£384/sq ft) was about 39.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
