Overview

About Post Office Cottage

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

Post Office Cottage is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Adderbury, Banbury, Banbury (OX17 3EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 661 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft. Period features are noted in the property record.

3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 is 26.1% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£348/sq ft) was about 111.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
