About 16 Barrington Way
16 Barrington Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Bowburn, Durham, Durham (DH6 5QD). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2026) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in June 2013 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
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. At 103 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 88% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £232,000 sits 209.4% above the 1997 sale of £74,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£68/sq ft) was about 35.1% below the postcode norm.
