Overview

About 5 Dove Cottages

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

5 Dove Cottages is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Thorpe Mandeville, Banbury, Banbury (OX17 2EX). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in November 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 105), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
