Get startedOld Farmhouse is a detached house in Bishopstone, Swindon, Swindon (SN6 8PX). It has a recorded floor area of 223 m² (around 2400 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 58), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
It hasn't traded since May 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 223 m² the property is well over the postcode median (116 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £905,000 sits 322.9% above the 1997 sale of £214,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£89/sq ft) was about 71.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
