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. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).
