About Dolls House Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Dolls House Cottage is a detached house in Penn, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP10 8LN). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E.

The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. 9 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 4 refused, 1 pending.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Dolls House Cottage is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP10 8LN. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Dolls House Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Dolls House Cottage was lodged in February 2016 at band D and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 9 applications are matched to Dolls House Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP10 8LN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Dolls House Cottage is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
