About 3 Hills Cottages
3 Hills Cottages is an end-of-terrace house in Great Ouseburn, York, York (YO26 9RF). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C.

Held since March 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
