Overview

About Smithy Ridge Cottage

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

Smithy Ridge Cottage is a detached house in Haigh, Barnsley, Barnsley (S75 4BX). It has a recorded floor area of 200 m² (around 2153 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on lpg. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
