About 23 Plantation Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 Plantation Drive is a mid-terrace house in Newsome, Huddersfield, Huddersfield (HD4 7QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 47 m² this is the 11th smallest of 53 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–102 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in December 2017 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since November 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £109,000 sits 738.5% above the 1998 sale of £13,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£26/sq ft) was about 77% below the postcode norm.
