About Dingle Cottage
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 £888,000 is 11% 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.
