About 5 Cricket Road
5 Cricket Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oxford (OX4 3DG). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C.

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 £396,000 sits 141.5% above the 2009 sale of £164,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 43.5% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2011.
