Overview

About 3 Cabot Drive

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

3 Cabot Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Grange Park, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 6HG). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (December 2008); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 90 m² it's 29.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (127 m² median across 19 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £352,000 is 47.9% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£246/sq ft) was about 35% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
