About 1 Cholsey Grange Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Cholsey Grange Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ibstone, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP14 3XT). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The property has solar panels and underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include notable views and outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (January 2018) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area.

Today's modelled estimate of £482,000 sits 93.2% above the 2008 sale of £249,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£276/sq ft) was about 23.5% below the postcode norm.

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 1 Cholsey Grange Cottages is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP14 3XT. 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 1 Cholsey Grange 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 1 Cholsey Grange Cottages was lodged in January 2018 at band E and is valid until January 2028. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Cholsey Grange 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 2 schools and 25 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP14 3XT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Cholsey Grange Cottages is in council tax band D. 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.
