About 4 James Street
4 James Street is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Barnsley (S71 1BL). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since February 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 sits 413.6% above the 2003 sale of £22,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£39/sq ft) was about 50.2% below the postcode norm. At 52 m² it's 16.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 42 EPCs).
