Overview

About 2 The Cottages

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

2 The Cottages is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Beacons Bottom, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP14 3XG). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a G (score 4), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 106), a 6-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (106 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £254,000 is 26.1% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£382/sq ft) was about 23.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
