Overview

About 15 Main Road

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

15 Main Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Biddenham, Bedford, Bedford (MK40 4BB). It has a recorded floor area of 329 m² (around 3541 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2022) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83).

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 329 m² the property is well over the postcode median (245 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £1,120,000 sits 89.5% above the 2007 sale of £591,000. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
