Overview

About Rose Cottage

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

Rose Cottage is a semi-detached house in Wentbridge, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF8 3JP). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since February 2007 — that's 20 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. Today's modelled estimate of £419,000 sits 51% above the 2007 sale of £277,435. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Rose Cottage is modelled from its 122 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF8 3JP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Rose Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Rose Cottage was lodged in March 2026 at band E and is valid until March 2036. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to Rose Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from WF8 3JP. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Rose Cottage is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
