Castle Farm House, Main Street, Sheriff Hutton, York, YO60 6ST

Castle Farm House is a six-bedroom detached house in Sheriff Hutton, York, York (YO60 6ST). It has a recorded floor area of 284 m² (around 3057 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 284 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £1,194,000 is 38.8% above the 2008 sale price.
