Overview

About Pound Scots

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

Pound Scots is a detached house in Bledlow Ridge, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP14 4AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 263 m² (around 2831 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2025) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71).

It hasn't traded since November 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 263 m² the property is well over the postcode median (144 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,622,000 sits 54.5% above the 2008 sale of £1,050,000. 5 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
