Overview

About Melrose House

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

Melrose House is a four-bedroom detached house in Bishop Monkton, Harrogate, Harrogate (HG3 3QU). It has a recorded floor area of 270 m² (around 2906 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

8 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 1 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An active application for tree works is awaiting a decision. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 270 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On the market in December 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 9 years. Across 1996–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £981,000 is 18.9% above the 2016 sale price.
