About 17 London Road
17 London Road is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in High Wycombe (HP11 1BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 179 m² (around 1927 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (April 2015) 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. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
8 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 179 m² it's 15.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (155 m² median across 9 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
