About 2 Bentley Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Bentley Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Barnsley (S71 2PZ). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since May 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £157,000 sits 65.4% above the 2006 sale of £94,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£112/sq ft) was about 15.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: change of use to residential approved in 2025. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 2 Bentley Close is modelled from its 79 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in S71 2PZ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 2 Bentley Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 2 Bentley Close was lodged in February 2013 at band D and expired in February 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 2 Bentley Close. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from S71 2PZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Bentley Close is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
