Overview

About Apple Cottage

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

Apple Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Crayke, York, York (YO61 4UD). It has a recorded floor area of 190 m² (around 2045 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since March 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
