About 23 Baker Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 Baker Drive is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 7GY). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft) and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (October 2015) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 97). The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.
Last sold in November 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Today's modelled estimate of £248,000 is 42.5% above the 2015 sale price.
