Overview

About 20 Kingsbrook Road

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

20 Kingsbrook Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bedford (MK42 0BH). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Most recent transfer: September 2021 at £355,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£402/sq ft) was about 110.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 82 m² it's 20.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (103 m² median across 23 EPCs).
