2 Buckthorn Drive, Swindon, SN25 3JH

2 Buckthorn Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Swindon (SN25 3JH). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since March 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1996–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.5% per year.

Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
