17 Halesowen Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Elstow, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 9GG). It has a recorded floor area of 164 m² (around 1765 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 164 m² the property is well over the postcode median (122 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £509,000 sits 74.3% above the 2006 sale of £292,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
