Blacksmiths is a detached house in Naphill, High Wycombe, High Wycombe (HP14 4QY). It has a recorded floor area of 227 m² (around 2443 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 227 m² the property is well over the postcode median (108 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £1,055,000 sits 339.6% above the 1996 sale of £240,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£98/sq ft) was about 76.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2000. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
