About High House

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

High House is a five-bedroom detached house in Ilkley (LS29 0AU). It has a recorded floor area of 233 m² (around 2512 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 233 m² it's 23.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (189 m² median across 21 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2007–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at -7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,197,000 sits 57.5% above the 2012 sale of £760,000. 10 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an annexe, tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 14 years ago, in November 2012.

    Tree WorksTrees
    In report

    T1 - Silver Birch Tree - Reduce the height by 2metres, from 9metres to 7metres - to reduce the 'leggy' growth at the top of the crown down to suitable growth points to encourage a denser crown and reduce the sail effect of the top of the crown. T2 - Cherry Tree - Reduce the height and lateral growth from 6metres to 4metres and remove 1 selected branch growing towards the cherry tree next to it - To encourage more even growth, currently the tree is fighting for light, and as a result, has ended up very unbalanced. Although the area is natural and wild, it also needs to be safe and if the tree continues to grow in this manner, it is likely to suffer from limb loss due to end load weight.
