Overview

About 10 Elmthorpe Road

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

10 Elmthorpe Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Wolvercote, Oxford, Oxford (OX2 8PA). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2025) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2018. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £644,000 sits 69.5% above the 2008 sale of £380,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
