Overview

About 5 Castle Drive

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

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. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

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. Today's modelled estimate of £247,000 is 39.9% above the 2012 sale price.
