Overview

About 7 Henwood Drive

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

7 Henwood Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Boars Hill, Oxford, Oxford (OX1 5JU). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 70 m² it sits well below the postcode median (102 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £412,000 is 47.1% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£372/sq ft) was about 45% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021.
