About 3 Hopwood Street
3 Hopwood Street is a five-bedroom detached house in Barnsley (S70 2BW). It has a recorded floor area of 170 m² (around 1825 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 44).
