Overview

About 20 Barker Close

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

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). The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 158 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. 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. Today's modelled estimate of £599,000 is 46.1% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£241/sq ft) was about 15.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
