About 3 The Crescent
3 The Crescent is a two-bedroom detached house in Swindon (SN5 5LA). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.
At 84 m² it sits well below the postcode median (140 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2017.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£346/sq ft) was about 71.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
