About The Old Dairy
The Old Dairy is a mid-terrace house in Culworth, Banbury, Banbury (OX17 2BB). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (January 2025) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since.

Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
