Overview

About 4 Bowden Lane

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

4 Bowden Lane is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in High Wycombe (HP11 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 165 m² (around 1776 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a conservatory and outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (April 2022) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70).

At 165 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£374/sq ft) was about 29.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £665,000 in August 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2003.
