Overview

About Anchor Farm

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

Anchor Farm is a detached house in Silkstone, Barnsley, Barnsley (S75 4LD). It has a recorded floor area of 204 m² (around 2196 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2019) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.

Today's modelled estimate of £659,000 is 17.6% below the 2021 sale of £800,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.
