About 1 Rosedene
1 Rosedene is a semi-detached house in Piddington, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP14 3BE). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2019) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (March 2009); the latest reading is one band lower.
