Overview

About 14 Main Road

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

14 Main Road is a six-bedroom detached house in Biddenham, Bedford, Bedford (MK40 4BB). It has a recorded floor area of 436 m² (around 4693 sq ft) and council tax band H. The latest certificate (March 2015) returns a high B (score 88), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in September 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 436 m² the property is well over the postcode median (245 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £1,760,000 sits 217.1% above the 2008 sale of £555,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 35.5% below the postcode norm. 9 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
