About 8 Elm Close
8 Elm Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Darrington, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF8 3AF). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. Other recorded features include notable views. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).
