About 194 Oxford Road

194 Oxford Road is an end-of-terrace house in Reading (RG30 1AA). It has a recorded floor area of 17 m² (around 183 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 17 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 14 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 13–190 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2017) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump.
