Overview

About 24 Barra Close

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

24 Barra Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Highworth, Swindon, Swindon (SN6 7HX). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in March 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £403,000 is 38% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£277/sq ft) was about 63.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 24 Barra Close is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN6 7HX. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 24 Barra Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 24 Barra Close was lodged in December 2015 at band C and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 24 Barra Close. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN6 7HX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
24 Barra Close is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
