About Ardwell House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Ardwell House is a four-bedroom detached house in Great Ouseburn, York, York (YO26 9RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (August 2015); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on house coal. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 83 m² it's 20.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (105 m² median across 8 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £611,000 sits 54.7% above the 2016 sale of £395,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£442/sq ft) was about 50.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, new windows and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in April 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Ardwell House is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in YO26 9RQ. 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.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Ardwell House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Ardwell House was lodged in May 2016 at band G and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to Ardwell House. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 11 stops listed are measured in a straight line from YO26 9RQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Ardwell House is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
