About Ivy Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Ivy Cottage is a detached house in Swaithe, Barnsley, Barnsley (S70 3QF). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in October 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 69 m² it sits well below the postcode median (150 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £195,000 sits 225% above the 1997 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 44.5% below the postcode norm.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Ivy Cottage is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in S70 3QF. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Ivy Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Ivy Cottage was lodged in June 2014 at band E and expired in June 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Ivy Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from S70 3QF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
