About 6 Thirlmere Road
6 Thirlmere Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Barnsley (S71 1ER). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2025) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).
It hasn't traded since June 2007, 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. At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (95 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 is 36.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 80.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
