About The Bungalow

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

The Bungalow is a detached house in Darrington, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF8 3BH). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 80 m² it sits well below the postcode median (129 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £368,000 is 47.2% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£290/sq ft) was about 26% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in February 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
