Overview

About 17 Bretton Road

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

17 Bretton Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Darton, Barnsley, Barnsley (S75 5JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 999 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £169,000 sits 85.7% above the 2009 sale of £91,000. At 93 m² it's 19% larger than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 19 EPCs).
