Overview

About 37 Castle Dore

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

37 Castle Dore is a four-bedroom detached house in Freshbrook, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 8PQ). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a C (score 73). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

One planning application is currently pending a decision in 2026. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2008–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at -2.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £388,000 sits 89.3% above the 2013 sale of £205,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 16.9% below the postcode norm. Last sold in December 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
