Overview

About Rectory Cottage

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

Rectory Cottage is a detached house in Ibstone, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP14 3XZ). It has a recorded floor area of 250 m² (around 2691 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (June 2022) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on oil.

Today's modelled estimate of £1,050,000 is 30% below the 2022 sale of £1,500,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£557/sq ft) was about 37.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 250 m² the property is well over the postcode median (111 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold December 2022 for £1,500,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
