About The Fields

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

The Fields is a four-bedroom detached house in Broad Town, Swindon, Swindon (SN4 7RB). It has a recorded floor area of 208 m² (around 2239 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
