About 1 Beckett Street
1 Beckett Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Barnsley (S71 1BN). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2024) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2017.
