About 5 The Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 The Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Ardington, Wantage, Wantage (OX12 8PT). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (September 2025) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68).
Held since November 2008 — that's 18 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. At 84 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £365,000 is 45.1% above the 2008 sale price.
