Overview

About 4 Barton Street

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

4 Barton Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Farnworth, Bolton, Bolton (BL4 8BW). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2020) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. At 54 m² this is the 12th smallest of 24 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 44–68 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top.

Held since May 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
