20 Brook Street, Bedford, MK42 0QR
About 20 Brook Street
20 Brook Street is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bedford (MK42 0QR). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. Other recorded features include a balcony and a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The home occupies a corner plot. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 122 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £415,000 sits 66% above the 2014 sale of £249,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 17% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
