About Mill Farm
Mill Farm is a mid-terrace house in Barlow, Dronfield, Dronfield (S18 7TJ). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 is 75.4% below the 2019 sale of £650,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,548/sq ft) was about 772.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 7 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused, 1 pending. An active application for change of use to residential is awaiting a decision. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
