About 10 Castle Street
10 Castle Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Barnsley (S70 1NS). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
