Overview

About 1 Castle Road

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

1 Castle Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Tongwynlais, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF15 7JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump.

At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (103 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £282,000 is 11.7% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£391/sq ft) was about 89.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2020. Most recent transfer: June 2022 at £252,500. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
