About Flat 1

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

Flat 1 is a three-bedroom detached house in South Marston, Swindon, Swindon (SN3 4SF). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. At 132 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 4 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–157 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2016. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 1 is the typical count.
