About 17 Herons Way

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

17 Herons Way is a semi-detached house in Birdwell, Barnsley, Barnsley (S70 5SF). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since October 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump.
