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 81% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £383,000 is 31.2% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£277/sq ft) was about 57% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
