Overview

About 8 Ashdown Way

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

8 Ashdown Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Swindon (SN25 1FA). It has a recorded floor area of 164 m² (around 1765 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (March 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 164 m² the property is well over the postcode median (110 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1997–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £572,000 is 12% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£289/sq ft) was about 60.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £510,500 in August 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
