About Lower Barn
Lower Barn is a four-bedroom detached house in Ironbridge, Telford, Telford (TF8 7BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on house coal. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.
At 96 m² it's 22.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (124 m² median across 9 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £411,000 sits 58.1% above the 2015 sale of £260,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£252/sq ft) was about 45.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 10 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in December 2015, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
