About 1 Birch Road
1 Birch Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Garsington, Oxford, Oxford (OX44 9AP). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

Held since December 2007 — that's 18 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.

Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £506,000 sits 87.4% above the 2007 sale of £269,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£214/sq ft) was about 25.7% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.
