About 5 Barkus Way
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Barkus Way is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Stokenchurch, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP14 3RD). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. At 50 m² this is the 18th smallest of 33 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–92 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2012. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, lighting went from Average to Very Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Last sold in December 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £209,000 is 45.1% above the 2012 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£268/sq ft) was about 20.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 Barkus Way is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP14 3RD. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 6 sales are recorded for 5 Barkus Way. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 5 Barkus Way was lodged in March 2014 at band E and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 Barkus Way. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 29 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP14 3RD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Barkus Way is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
