About 5 Hornbeam House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Hornbeam House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Banbury (OX16 2BL). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 72 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 71–79 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since May 2016. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since November 2005 — that's 21 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £199,000 is 19.9% above the 2005 sale price.
