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 £273,000 is 35.5% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£382/sq ft) was about 19.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 The Cottages is modelled from its 49 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP14 3XG. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 2 The Cottages. 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 2 The Cottages was lodged in January 2016 at band G and expired in January 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 2 The Cottages. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP14 3XG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 The Cottages is in council tax band C. 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.
