About Chestnut House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Chestnut House is a detached house in Shrivenham, Swindon, Swindon (SN6 8AX). It has a recorded floor area of 281 m² (around 3025 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2022) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82).
Held since January 2007 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
