About Pinetree Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Pinetree Cottage is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Culworth, Banbury, Banbury (OX17 2AT). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
It hasn't traded since September 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £306,000 sits 337.1% above the 1995 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£82/sq ft) was about 66.7% below the postcode norm. At 79 m² it's 22.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (102 m² median across 21 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2012.
