About 1 Darnholme Crescent
1 Darnholme Crescent is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Messingham, Scunthorpe, Scunthorpe (DN17 3SL). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2023) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area.
