5 The Crescent, Hood Green, Barnsley, S75 3HD

5 The Crescent is a four-bedroom detached house in Hood Green, Barnsley, Barnsley (S75 3HD). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (December 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 58), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on bulk wood pellets. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 161 m² the property is well over the postcode median (121 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £428,000 sits 50.2% above the 2014 sale of £285,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 18.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 12 years since the last transfer (March 2014).
