Overview

About 4 Barrington Way

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

4 Barrington Way is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bowburn, Durham, Durham (DH6 5QD). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 29.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £133,000 is 13.7% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£222/sq ft) was about 122.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
