About 5 Chiltern Cottages

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

5 Chiltern Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ibstone, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP14 3XZ). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2017) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
