Overview

About 16 Dryden Place

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

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 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 46 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (46–93 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 (48 versus a best of 76). The latest certificate (April 2026) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

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 £126,000 sits 384.6% above the 1997 sale of £26,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£53/sq ft) was about 77.1% below the postcode norm. At 46 m² it sits well below the postcode median (66 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 16 Dryden Place is modelled from its 46 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN4 8JP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 16 Dryden Place. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 16 Dryden Place was lodged in April 2026 at band E and is valid until April 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Dryden Place. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 6 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN4 8JP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Dryden Place is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
