The potential of A House Like mine

Discover the potential of your property: lower bills, less carbon, more comfort. Learn how planning ahead helps you take the right steps with confidence.

A House Like Mine began as a partnership project to inspire Oxfordshire homeowners and landlords to see the potential in their homes.

Scroll down to explore the A House Like Mine case studies. They don’t show completed work – they show what could be achieved. E. Each one reflects the expert assessments made in a Whole House Plan, showing which improvements make the biggest difference, what they might cost, and how to phase them over time.

You don’t have to do everything at once: the plans show how to start small, follow a fabric-first approach (insulating before new systems), and make progress step by step, at a pace and budget that suits you.

From Victorian terraces to post-war semis, they reveal how typical Oxfordshire homes could be made warmer, cheaper to run, and better for the planet — with grants and support available to help many households along the way.

“The Whole House Plan really clarified the various measures and their costs for us, something we only had a vague idea about before. It laid out some interesting options, which have been incredibly helpful in planning our next steps.”
Felicity and Jan, St Clements, Oxford
