Overview

About 4 Castle Cottage

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

4 Castle Cottage is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Husthwaite, York, York (YO61 4QB). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2021) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since July 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£198/sq ft) was about 18.7% below the postcode norm.
