1 Barf Cottages is a semi-detached house in Thornthwaite, Keswick, Keswick (CA12 5SQ). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E.

The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
