About St Margarets
St Margarets is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hughenden Valley, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP14 4LW). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 80 m² it sits well below the postcode median (119 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £501,000 is 26.8% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£459/sq ft) was about 94.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
