About White Tower
White Tower is a mid-terrace house in Taplow, Maidenhead, Maidenhead (SL6 0BB). It has a recorded floor area of 176 m² (around 1894 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2021) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since August 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 176 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £915,000 sits 306.7% above the 1995 sale of £225,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£119/sq ft) was about 74.8% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2012. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
