Overview

About 166 Cumnor Road

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

166 Cumnor Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Boars Hill, Oxford, Oxford (OX1 5JS). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 123 m² it's 17.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (105 m² median across 14 EPCs). Last sold in April 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
