Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Sutton-in-Craven homes means for your front door
32.2% of the 3,760 properties around Sutton-in-Craven centre pre-date 1919 (well above the 21% average) and 12.5% were built between the wars. On those roughly 1,700 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
25.0% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 15.7% from 1973 to 1999: 40.7% together, about 1,500 homes, below the 45% average for those decades. Many of the 1,700 or so older homes here have had their doors replaced with uPVC as well, and a yellowed white uPVC door takes a Kolorbond-certified respray with a 10-year guarantee.
14.9% of properties, about 560, are post-2000, close to the 17% average; on those a builder-fitted composite or GRP door is likely, and composite doors respray from £200.
For comparison, 30.1% of properties in Cross Hills (1 miles away) and 26.0% in Steeton (2 miles) pre-date 1919, so Sutton-in-Craven has a share of period housing close to Cross Hills and more than Steeton. Since 2000 the figure is 14.9% here, 17.6% in Cross Hills and 25.5% in Steeton. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 40.7% here, 41.7% in Cross Hills and 40.2% in Steeton.
Who lives in Sutton-in-Craven, and what that changes
Terraces house 37.4% of the 3,545 households here (above the 27% average). Those 1,300 or so terraced front doors usually open onto the pavement or a short path, so we spray the door in place, screen the pavement side and mask the step, sill and brickwork around it.
72.6% of households own their home and 15.3% rent privately, against averages of 63% and 19%. If you own, it is worth spraying the frame at the same time, while landlords of the roughly 930 rented homes here may prefer one hard-wearing colour so touch-ups stay simple.
Choosing a door colour for Sutton-in-Craven
Because Sutton-in-Craven mixes 32.2% pre-1919 homes with 55.6% built after 1945, there is no single local colour, so hold our sample cards against your own brick or stone in daylight, or use our colour matching service to copy a shade from a photo or a neighbour's door.
