About Christmas Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Christmas Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Chearsley, Aylesbury, Aylesbury (HP18 0BT). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in June 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £526,000 sits 69.7% above the 2009 sale of £310,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£351/sq ft) was about 19.9% below the postcode norm. At 82 m² it sits well below the postcode median (127 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 Christmas Cottage is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HP18 0BT. 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 Christmas 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 Christmas Cottage was lodged in January 2014 at band E and expired in January 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Christmas 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 22 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HP18 0BT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Christmas 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.
