About 19 Bowden Lane
19 Bowden Lane is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in High Wycombe (HP11 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. At 54 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 51–165 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (January 2021) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since January 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Very Good to Good.
It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 54 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 is 46.7% above the 2007 sale price.
