About 8 Ambleside Grove
8 Ambleside Grove is a three-bedroom detached house in Barnsley (S71 5DP). It has a recorded floor area of 191 m² (around 2056 sq ft) and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 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 191 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £371,000 sits 100.5% above the 2007 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£90/sq ft) was about 53% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
