1 Castle Mews, Pontefract, WF8 1AH
About 1 Castle Mews
1 Castle Mews is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Pontefract (WF8 1AH). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. At 59 m² this is the 12th smallest of 22 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 49–68 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (November 2018) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since January 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs).
