The estimate for Yew Tree Cottage is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in YO26 8DY. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

Yew Tree Cottage has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
