About 14 Barnes Close
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.
