Overview

About 25 Carding Way

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

25 Carding Way is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 7JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft). The latest certificate (April 2016) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 97).

Sold April 2021 for £230,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
