Overview

About 23 Bessemer Close

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

23 Bessemer Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Swindon (SN2 1NB). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £314,000 sits 65.3% above the 2015 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 37.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in September 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. At 76 m² it's 23.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (100 m² median across 20 EPCs).
