Flint Cottage, Chapel Lane, Bledlow, Princes Risborough, HP27 9QG

Flint Cottage is a semi-detached house in Bledlow, Princes Risborough, Princes Risborough (HP27 9QG). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £491,000 sits 97.2% above the 2009 sale of £249,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£257/sq ft) was about 25.8% below the postcode norm. At 90 m² it sits well below the postcode median (142 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
