About Brambling Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Brambling Cottage is a semi-detached house in Bishopstone, Swindon, Swindon (SN6 8PX). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 Brambling Cottage is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SN6 8PX. 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. 6 sales are recorded for Brambling Cottage. 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 Brambling Cottage was lodged in October 2012 at band D and expired in October 2022, 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. 1 application is matched to Brambling Cottage. 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 2 schools and 13 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SN6 8PX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Brambling Cottage is in council tax band C. 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.
