About 8 Ashdown Way
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.

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.
