1 Cypress Heights, Barnsley, S71 1WA

1 Cypress Heights is a four-bedroom detached house in Barnsley (S71 1WA). It has a recorded floor area of 167 m² (around 1798 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (March 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 167 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £267,000 sits 61.9% above the 2010 sale of £164,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£92/sq ft) was about 38.4% below the postcode norm.
