About 37 The Old Chapel
37 The Old Chapel is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cowley, Oxford, Oxford (OX4 2UG). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in December 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
