About 17 Water Row
17 Water Row is a three-bedroom detached house in Cawood, Selby, Selby (YO8 3SW). It has a recorded floor area of 177 m² (around 1905 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on oil. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since February 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 177 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £539,000 sits 122.3% above the 2009 sale of £242,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£127/sq ft) was about 29.8% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension, a porch and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
