Overview

About 3 Circus Street

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

3 Circus Street is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oxford (OX4 1JR). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 72). The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since June 2011. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 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 93 m² the property is well over the postcode median (61 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £642,000 sits 133.5% above the 2007 sale of £275,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£275/sq ft) was about 16.6% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused.
