About 1 College Grove Close
1 College Grove Close is a semi-detached house in Wakefield (WF1 3RJ). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).
