About 1 Hopwood Street
1 Hopwood Street is a four-bedroom detached house in Barnsley (S70 2BW). It has a recorded floor area of 155 m² (around 1668 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in April 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 155 m² the property is well over the postcode median (110 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £315,000 is 18.9% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£159/sq ft) was about 63.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
