Overview

About 1 Brickyard Cottages

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

1 Brickyard Cottages is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Strensall, York, York (YO32 5UZ). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (November 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2014. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).

It hasn't traded since November 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (108 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £454,000 sits 377.9% above the 1997 sale of £95,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£60/sq ft) was about 74.3% below the postcode norm. 8 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
