About 4 Barr Road
4 Barr Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Syston, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 2BS). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2021) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (May 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 90). The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since December 2007 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (109 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £211,000 is 37.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£268/sq ft) was about 34% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
