About Bentham House
Bentham House is a detached house in Purton, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 4HZ). It has a recorded floor area of 883 m² (around 9505 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 883 m² the property is well over the postcode median (159 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 9 planning records sit against the property, 9 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch, partial demolition and solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Today's modelled estimate of £2,254,000 is 23.5% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£192/sq ft) was about 49.7% below the postcode norm. Last sale on file: £1,825,000 in February 2022.
