About 7 Croxden Way
7 Croxden Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Elstow, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 9FW). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2018) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £502,000 sits 76.1% above the 2007 sale of £285,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs).
