About This Property

This terraced house is located in SWINDON, SN3 3DA. The property offers 64m² (689 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property holds an EPC rating of C (76/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (87/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £647, comprising £489 for heating, £84 for hot water, and £74 for lighting. The property produces 2.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in January 2019 for £161,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
