About 26 Bencombe Road
26 Bencombe Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Marlow (SL7 3NZ). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (February 2025) shows a C (score 71). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82).
It hasn't traded since February 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 £829,000 sits 112.6% above the 2009 sale of £390,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£285/sq ft) was about 22.1% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2014.
