5 Bowleymead, Swindon, SN3 3TD
About 5 Bowleymead
5 Bowleymead is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Swindon (SN3 3TD). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. At 35 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (35–102 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (October 2025) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.
Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (87 m² across 43 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £133,000 is 43.8% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£246/sq ft) was about 91.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
