Overview

About 14 Barnes Close

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

14 Barnes Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sturminster Newton (DT10 1BN). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 85 m² it's 21.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 36 EPCs). Last changed hands 10 years ago, in March 2016. Across 1998–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £254,000 is 32.3% above the 2016 sale price.
