About 1 Cumberland Road
1 Cumberland Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Swindon (SN3 1AA). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.
Held since August 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
