About The Old Forge
The Old Forge is a four-bedroom detached house in Warmington, Banbury, Banbury (OX17 1DB). It has a recorded floor area of 210 m² (around 2259 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an F (score 24), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 210 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include a garage conversion and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £695,000 is 47.9% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£208/sq ft) was about 28.5% below the postcode norm.
