About 5 The Mead
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 The Mead is a four-bedroom detached house in Mollington, Banbury, Banbury (OX17 1DN). It has a recorded floor area of 150 m² (around 1615 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
