About 9 Long Close

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

9 Long Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Botley, Oxford, Oxford (OX2 9SG). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2025) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
