Overview

About 17 Western Road

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

17 Western Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oxford (OX1 4LF). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2015–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£706/sq ft) was about 58.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold September 2021 for £950,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
