2 Barbrook Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Standish, Wigan, Wigan (WN6 0SX). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.

It hasn't traded since November 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £219,000 sits 291.1% above the 1995 sale of £56,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£98/sq ft) was about 40.6% below the postcode norm. At 53 m² it's 15.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 11 EPCs).
