Get started1 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 latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. 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.
It hasn't traded since July 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £355,000 sits 248% above the 1997 sale of £102,000.
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
