About 20 Barker Close
20 Barker Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Arborfield, Reading, Reading (RG2 9NQ). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1701 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82).

Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year.
