Overview

About Oakland House Cottage

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

Oakland House Cottage is a detached house in Pateley Bridge, Harrogate, Harrogate (HG3 5LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 160 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £572,000 is 43% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 20.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
