Overview

About 2 Beech Crescent

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

2 Beech Crescent is a four-bedroom detached house in Darrington, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF8 3AD). It has a recorded floor area of 176 m² (around 1894 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. Tenure is freehold. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot and a basement. The latest certificate (February 2025) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 176 m² the property is well over the postcode median (115 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 88% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £489,000 sits 95.6% above the 2007 sale of £249,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£132/sq ft) was about 41.2% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
