About 31 Scarcroft Hill
31 Scarcroft Hill is a detached house in York (YO24 1DF). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. At 63 m² this is the 6th smallest of 24 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–146 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Very Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 63 m² it sits well below the postcode median (102 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
