1 Chesterton Mews, Bedford, MK40 2TB

1 Chesterton Mews is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bedford (MK40 2TB). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 655 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 61 m² it's 17% larger than the typical home in the postcode (52 m² median across 19 EPCs). Across 1998–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 is 44.3% above the 2008 sale price.
