About 15 James Wolfe Road
15 James Wolfe Road is a six-bedroom semi-detached house in Oxford (OX4 2PY). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2018) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since August 2008, a hold of 18 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 112 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £448,000 sits 81% above the 2008 sale of £247,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£205/sq ft) was about 29.2% below the postcode norm.
