About 4 George Square
4 George Square is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Barnsley (S70 1AY). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2018) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2018.

It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
