About 1 Furlong Close
1 Furlong Close is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Oxford (OX4 6AT). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. At 44 m² this is the 8th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 36–85 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in December 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in January 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 44 m² it sits well below the postcode median (72 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £267,000 is 16.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£486/sq ft) was about 71.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
