About Woodpeckers

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

Woodpeckers is a four-bedroom detached house in High Wycombe (HP13 5BE). It has a recorded floor area of 268 m² (around 2889 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows a C (score 72). The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 268 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £982,000 is 43.4% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£237/sq ft) was about 37.1% below the postcode norm. Last sold in September 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
