About 37 Grove Hill
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
37 Grove Hill is a two-bedroom detached house in Highworth, Swindon, Swindon (SN6 7JL). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an F (score 22), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 3 certificates since November 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on anthracite. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 74 m² it's 28.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (103 m² median across 17 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £359,000 is 33% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£339/sq ft) was about 31.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2015, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 37 Grove Hill is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in SN6 7JL. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 37 Grove Hill. 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 37 Grove Hill was lodged in February 2015 at band F and expired in February 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 37 Grove Hill. 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 29 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN6 7JL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 37 Grove Hill 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.
