About Police House

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

Police House is a detached house in Darrington, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF8 3AL). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2025) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
