Overview

About 2 Elwy Gardens

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

2 Elwy Gardens is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Cockett, Swansea, Swansea (SA2 0XD). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor.
