About 68 Wakefield Road

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

68 Wakefield Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Fenay Bridge, Huddersfield, Huddersfield (HD8 0BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 736 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2011) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
