About 78 Abbey Road

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

78 Abbey Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oxford (OX2 0AG). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55).
