About 13 Acorn Way
13 Acorn Way is an end-of-terrace house in Bedford (MK42 0QN). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 597 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a C (score 70). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £243,000 sits 97.6% above the 2009 sale of £123,000.

At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
