About 3 Purston House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Purston House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Banbury (OX16 4AD). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2012) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. Main heating runs on electricity.
