About 109 Cowley Road
109 Cowley Road is a detached house in Oxford (OX4 1HU). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 41 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–255 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom.

Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65).
