About 17 Rock Farm Lane

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

17 Rock Farm Lane is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Sandford-On-Thames, Oxford, Oxford (OX4 4YL). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84).

It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
