About 6 Cave Street

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

6 Cave Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Oxford (OX4 1BA). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D.
