About Citygate
Citygate is a two-bedroom detached house in Oxford (OX4 1AW). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2023 and council tax band C. At 40 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Citygate (40–75 m²). The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2023) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2018. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good.
It hasn't traded since September 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. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (60 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £304,000 is 24.1% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£569/sq ft) was about 31% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2014.
