Overview

About Wycombe House

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

Wycombe House is a five-bedroom detached house in Chawston, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3BH). It has a recorded floor area of 280 m² (around 3014 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2021) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2017 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good.

At 280 m² the property is well over the postcode median (172 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £697,000 sits 132.3% above the 2018 sale of £300,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£100/sq ft) was about 40.4% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in March 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.
