About 8 Gainsborough Close

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

8 Gainsborough Close is a six-bedroom detached house in Sketty, Swansea, Swansea (SA2 9FE). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1996-2002.

The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One historical planning record sits against the property in 2024. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
