8 Fords Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bledlow Ridge, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP14 4AP). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 863 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).
