Overview

About 19 Main Road

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

19 Main Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Biddenham, Bedford, Bedford (MK40 4BB). It has a recorded floor area of 245 m² (around 2637 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 245 m² it's 23.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (319 m² median across 13 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2023, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year.
