About 3 Carey Close

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

3 Carey Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Oxford (OX2 8HX). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
