About 5 Castle Drive
5 Castle Drive is a two-bedroom detached house in South Cave, Brough, Brough (HU15 2ES). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 93 m² it's 17.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (113 m² median across 32 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 7 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in September 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
