About This Property
This detached house is located in SWINDON, SN26 7ER. The property offers 237m² (2551 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a recently constructed modern home. With an EPC rating of B (85/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes. The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency.
