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

17 Forest Side is a detached house in Kennington, Oxford, Oxford (OX1 5LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1591 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).
