About Mire Wood Barn
Mire Wood Barn is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Osbaldeston, Blackburn, Blackburn (BB2 7LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 253 m² (around 2723 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 253 m² it sits well below the postcode median (530 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £705,000 is 17.5% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£220/sq ft) was about 26% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
