Overview

About 5 Barn Close

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

5 Barn Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Gretton, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL54 5YT). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in August 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The home occupies a corner plot.

It hasn't traded since April 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £712,000 sits 193.6% above the 2001 sale of £242,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£154/sq ft) was about 50.2% below the postcode norm. At 146 m² it's 16.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (126 m² median across 4 EPCs).
