About 8 Chestnut Crescent
8 Chestnut Crescent is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Barnsley (S70 3NW). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows a C (score 74). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 91).
It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 sits 61.3% above the 2008 sale of £80,000. At 54 m² it's 28% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (75 m² median across 45 EPCs).
