Overview

About Drill Farm

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

Drill Farm is a detached house in Braydon, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 0AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 282 m² (around 3035 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
