About 14 Drove Acre Road
14 Drove Acre Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oxford (OX4 3DF). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 875 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £404,000 sits 82.8% above the 2007 sale of £221,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£252/sq ft) was about 23.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
