About Croft Barn
Croft Barn is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Barley, Burnley, Burnley (BB12 9LF). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1561 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Across 1997–2005, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £400,000 is 20% below the 2005 sale of £500,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£320/sq ft) was about 28.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since December 2005 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 11 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 5 refused.
