About 1 Ford Way

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

1 Ford Way is a detached house in Downley, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP13 5XW). It has a recorded floor area of 226 m² (around 2433 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 73).
