About 16 Dryden Place
16 Dryden Place is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Royal Wootton Bassett, Swindon, Swindon (SN4 8JP). It has a recorded floor area of 32 m² (around 344 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 32 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (32–93 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (47 versus a best of 76). The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £120,000 sits 361.5% above the 1997 sale of £26,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 67% below the postcode norm. At 32 m² it sits well below the postcode median (66 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
