Overview

About 3 Ford Way

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

3 Ford Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Downley, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP13 5XW). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band F. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (September 2025) shows a C (score 73). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82).

It hasn't traded since February 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £660,000 sits 315.1% above the 1998 sale of £159,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 59.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs).
