About 1 Cottam Croft

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

1 Cottam Croft is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hemsworth, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF9 4HU). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B.
