Overview

About 3 Chestnut Crescent

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

3 Chestnut Crescent is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Barnsley (S70 3NW). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2005–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year.
