About 13 Briar Grove

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

13 Briar Grove is a two-bedroom detached house in Wakefield (WF1 5LT). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C.

Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
