About 1 Hell Corner Cottage
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.

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 (178 m² across 7 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.
