About 4 Marsh Road
4 Marsh Road is a one-bedroom detached house in Oxford (OX4 2HH). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1690 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in February 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 157 m² the property is well over the postcode median (48 m² across 36 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 1995–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £483,000 sits 400.5% above the 2008 sale of £96,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£57/sq ft) was about 84.6% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused.
