Overview

About Bridge Cottage

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

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 £566,000 is 41.5% above the 2014 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Bridge Cottage is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP14 4LD. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Bridge Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Bridge Cottage was lodged in April 2014 at band D and expired in April 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Bridge Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP14 4LD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Bridge Cottage is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
