Overview

About Rachel House

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

Rachel House is an end-of-terrace house in Banbury (OX16 5HA). It has a recorded floor area of 25 m² (around 269 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 25 m² this is the 6th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in Rachel House, where floor areas span 14–43 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).

At 25 m² it sits well below the postcode median (43 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2017. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
