About Sparrow Hall
Sparrow Hall is a detached house in Oldstead, York, York (YO61 4BL). It has a recorded floor area of 246 m² (around 2648 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since March 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 246 m² the property is well over the postcode median (125 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £645,000 sits 578.9% above the 1996 sale of £95,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£36/sq ft) was about 84.8% below the postcode norm.
