Overview

About 7 Castle Dore

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

7 Castle Dore is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Freshbrook, Swindon, Swindon (SN5 8PQ). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 sits 83.8% above the 2009 sale of £130,000.
