About 147a
147a is an end-of-terrace house in Royston, Barnsley, Barnsley (S71 4BY). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (June 2018) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
Held since December 1996 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 93 m² the property is well over the postcode median (47 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £155,000 sits 588.9% above the 1996 sale of £22,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£22/sq ft) was about 92.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2013. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
