Get started196 Amersham Road is a six-bedroom detached house in High Wycombe (HP13 5AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 201 m² (around 2164 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2019) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85).
Today's modelled estimate of £886,000 sits 51.5% above the 2013 sale of £585,000. 8 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 201 m² it sits well below the postcode median (323 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. On the market in July 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.
Planning history includes both a loft conversion and an extension — the classic family-home expansion.
