Overview

About 4 Crescent Road

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

4 Crescent Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oxford (OX4 2PB). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2022) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

Held since March 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 £390,000 sits 105.3% above the 2009 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£215/sq ft) was about 24% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 81% of similar EPCs).
