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). On the market in June 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years. Across 2007–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £796,000 is 22.5% above the 2015 sale price.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Amble Cottage is modelled from its 187 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP14 4QG. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Amble 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 Amble Cottage was lodged in January 2015 at band D and expired in January 2025, 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. 3 applications are matched to Amble 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP14 4QG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Amble Cottage is in council tax band F. 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.
