Overview

About Amble Cottage

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

Amble Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Naphill, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP14 4QG). It has a recorded floor area of 187 m² (around 2013 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 187 m² it's 24.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (150 m² median across 5 EPCs). Across 2007–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £799,000 is 22.9% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£323/sq ft) was about 15% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
