About 138 Cumnor Road

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

138 Cumnor Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Boars Hill, Oxford, Oxford (OX1 5JR). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 886 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Untraded for 25 years, with the last transfer in June 2001. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £457,000 sits 177% above the 2001 sale of £165,000.
