Overview

About Bracken Hill

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

Bracken Hill is a five-bedroom detached house in Oxford (OX2 9JG). It has a recorded floor area of 176 m² (around 1894 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a C (score 70). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 90). The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £783,000 sits 78% above the 2009 sale of £440,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 33.1% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused. At 176 m² it's 23.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (231 m² median across 12 EPCs).
