About 1 Red Lion Cottages
1 Red Lion Cottages is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Northmoor, Witney, Witney (OX29 5SU). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1397 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 44). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £462,000 sits 79.1% above the 2009 sale of £258,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£185/sq ft) was about 47% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2024. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
