About Spring Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Spring Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Epwell, Banbury, Banbury (OX15 6LF). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2022) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since January 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £601,000 sits 362.3% above the 1998 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£89/sq ft) was about 60% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2005.
