Overview

About Sycamore Cottage

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Sycamore Cottage is a detached house in Hood Green, Barnsley, Barnsley (S75 3HF). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on bulk wood pellets.
