Overview

About 1 Hell Corner Cottage

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

1 Hell Corner Cottage is a detached house in Ibstone, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP14 3XX). It has a recorded floor area of 335 m² (around 3606 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (November 2022) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on oil.

It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 335 m² the property is well over the postcode median (206 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £2,578,000 sits 71.9% above the 2009 sale of £1,500,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£416/sq ft) was about 34.5% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory, a loft conversion and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
