About 1 Sherwood Grove
1 Sherwood Grove is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Acomb, York, York (YO26 5RD). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 122 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £398,000 sits 104.1% above the 2009 sale of £195,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£148/sq ft) was about 39.9% below the postcode norm.
