About 17 Bedford Square
17 Bedford Square is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Brighton (BN1 2PN). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 661 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 61 m² this is the 60th smallest of 69 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 20–238 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 69 units on file. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £236,000 is 71.2% below the 2026 sale of £820,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,241/sq ft) was about 360.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer was April 2026 at £820,000 — fresh data. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2000. Past consents include an extension, partial demolition and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 61 m² it's 25.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (49 m² median across 68 EPCs).
