Overview

About 10 Barnes Close

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

10 Barnes Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Darlington (DL3 9BP). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2024) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £173,000 sits 50.4% above the 2009 sale of £115,000. At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (99 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
