Overview

About 205 Sharpenhoe Road

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

205 Sharpenhoe Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Streatley, Luton, Luton (LU3 3PR). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2017) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2017 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, main heating went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). Main heating runs on electricity. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £574,000 sits 60.6% above the 2009 sale of £357,500.
