Overview

About 21 Barker Close

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

21 Barker Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Arborfield, Reading, Reading (RG2 9NQ). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2004–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 sits 93.9% above the 2016 sale of £132,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£168/sq ft) was about 22.6% below the postcode norm. At 73 m² it sits well below the postcode median (115 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in July 2016.
