Overview

About 6 The Gowans

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

6 The Gowans is a four-bedroom detached house in Sutton-On-The-Forest, York, York (YO61 1DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 159 m² (around 1711 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2016 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Last sold in April 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Today's modelled estimate of £595,000 is 38.4% above the 2017 sale price.
