About Fairthorn

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

Fairthorn is a mid-terrace house in Sheffield (S17 3AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 800 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. At 74 m² this is the 26th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in Fairthorn, where floor areas span 55–80 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
