Overview

About Barlow Grange Cottage

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

Barlow Grange Cottage is a semi-detached house in Barlow, Selby, Selby (YO8 8EG). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1286 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in January 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 120 m² it sits well below the postcode median (200 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £355,000 is 42% above the 2008 sale price.
