Overview

About 159 Cumnor Road

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

159 Cumnor Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Boars Hill, Oxford, Oxford (OX1 5JS). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2021) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Other recorded features include notable views. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since October 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £556,000 sits 78.8% above the 2007 sale of £311,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2001.
