Overview

About 2 Greenwoods

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

2 Greenwoods is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Downley, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP13 5YG). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since August 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1998–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £451,000 sits 50.4% above the 2011 sale of £299,950. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
