Overview

About Holly Cottage

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

Holly Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Birstwith, Harrogate, Harrogate (HG3 2NQ). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 99 m² it sits well below the postcode median (159 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in July 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £572,000 is 38.8% above the 2016 sale price.
