About Dingle Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Dingle Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Boars Hill, Oxford, Oxford (OX1 5EY). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 94 m² it sits well below the postcode median (189 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £895,000 is 11.9% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£791/sq ft) was about 29.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2017.

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 Dingle Cottage is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OX1 5EY. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Dingle 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 Dingle Cottage was lodged in October 2014 at band E and expired in October 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Dingle 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX1 5EY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Dingle Cottage is in council tax band E. 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.
