36 Barley Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Great Chishill, Royston, Royston (SG8 8SB). It has a recorded floor area of 265 m² (around 2852 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.
It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 265 m² the property is well over the postcode median (132 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £1,047,000 sits 95.7% above the 2008 sale of £535,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 33.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
36 Barley Road's carbon output runs well above what efficient homes in the postcode produce.
