Overview

About 3 Gibbs Cottages

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

3 Gibbs Cottages is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Castle Combe, Chippenham, Chippenham (SN14 7NQ). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 95), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in June 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £550,000 sits 450% above the 1997 sale of £100,000. At 123 m² it sits well below the postcode median (258 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
