About 5 Barker Fold

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

5 Barker Fold is a semi-detached house in Chesterfield (S40 1EF). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2012.
