About 3 Birchwood Gardens

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

3 Birchwood Gardens is a four-bedroom detached house in Brafferton, York, York (YO61 2QN). It has a recorded floor area of 182 m² (around 1959 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1996-2002.

Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70).

The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Most recent transfer: October 2018 at £475,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 2000–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year.
