Overview

About Rochester House

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

Rochester House is a two-bedroom detached house in Swindon (SN25 1BB). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. At 57 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Rochester House (57–62 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (79 versus a best of 83). The latest certificate (February 2021) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (October 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £163,000 sits 55.2% above the 2009 sale of £105,000.
