About Brimmycroft Barn
Brimmycroft Barn is a five-bedroom detached house in Denshaw, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5UE). It has a recorded floor area of 360 m² (around 3875 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 360 m² the property is well over the postcode median (209 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2022.
