About 17 Bishopdale Close
17 Bishopdale Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Nine Elms, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 5UZ). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1353 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since March 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area.
