Overview

About Garden Cottage

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

Garden Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Charlton, Banbury, Banbury (OX17 3DP). It has a recorded floor area of 172 m² (around 1851 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (April 2025) shows a C (score 70).

Held since July 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £817,000 sits 136.8% above the 2001 sale of £345,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 22.5% below the postcode norm. At 172 m² it's 28.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (134 m² median across 13 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 85% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2005.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Garden Cottage is modelled from its 172 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OX17 3DP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Garden Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Garden Cottage was lodged in April 2025 at band C and is valid until April 2035. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Garden Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 14 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OX17 3DP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Garden Cottage is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
