Overview

About 34 Castle Road

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

34 Castle Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Bury (BL9 8JL). It has a recorded floor area of 197 m² (around 2115 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and attached land beyond the plot.

It hasn't traded since December 2002, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. At 197 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £572,000 sits 104.7% above the 2002 sale of £279,500. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
