2 Gladstone Close, Newport Pagnell, MK16 0EU

2 Gladstone Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Newport Pagnell (MK16 0EU). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1701 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since August 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 158 m² the property is well over the postcode median (118 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £459,000 sits 65.4% above the 2009 sale of £277,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 25.4% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
