Cobbett Court is a mid-terrace house in Highworth, Swindon, Swindon (SN6 7AE). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. At 42 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Cobbett Court (42–80 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (September 2013) returns a high B (score 86), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in August 2013 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2007–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £126,000 is 16% below the 2008 sale of £149,950, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£332/sq ft) was about 24.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 42 m² it's 20.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (53 m² median across 48 EPCs).
