About Oxford Cottage

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Oxford Cottage is a semi-detached house in Hay-On-Wye, Hereford, Hereford (HR3 5AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1460 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
