About 1 Barnard Road
1 Barnard Road is a semi-detached house in Ferryhill (DL17 8QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.

Today's modelled estimate of £121,000 sits 72.9% above the 2006 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£52/sq ft) was about 30.6% below the postcode norm.
