About 1 Farm Cottage Hitchenden Farm
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Farm Cottage Hitchenden Farm is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Hughenden Valley, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP14 4LB). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2023) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since October 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area.

Today's modelled estimate of £425,000 sits 70% above the 2008 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£270/sq ft) was about 28.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Farm Cottage Hitchenden Farm is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HP14 4LB. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Farm Cottage Hitchenden Farm. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
