Grange Cottage, Thorpe Lane, Cawood, Selby, YO8 3SG
About Grange Cottage
Grange Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Cawood, Selby, Selby (YO8 3SG). It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2099 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 195 m² the property is well over the postcode median (125 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 10 planning records sit against the property, 9 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory, tree works and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in December 2015. Across 2012–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £555,000 is 48% above the 2015 sale price.
