Overview

About Church Farm

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

Church Farm is a five-bedroom detached house in Whixley, York, York (YO26 8AR). It has a recorded floor area of 214 m² (around 2303 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in May 2013 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 93), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 214 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2013–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.6% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£430/sq ft) was about 56.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold July 2024 for £990,000.
