About 129 Cumnor Road

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

129 Cumnor Road is a semi-detached house in Boars Hill, Oxford, Oxford (OX1 5JR). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
