The Aspens, Flat 3, 157 Iffley Road, Oxford, OX4 1EJ
About The Aspens
The Aspens is a semi-detached house in Oxford (OX4 1EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 46 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 3 units on EPC record in The Aspens, where floor areas span 45–112 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (November 2022) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since July 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.
Held since December 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 £250,000 is 42.9% above the 2009 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.
