About Bridge Cottage
Bridge Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hughenden Valley, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP14 4LD). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2011. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 103 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in July 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Across 2011–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £536,000 is 34% above the 2014 sale price.
