About 11 Bridge Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
11 Bridge Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bedford (MK42 9LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 986 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in August 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 92 m² it's 17.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 19 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £259,000 sits 370.9% above the 1999 sale of £55,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£56/sq ft) was about 58.2% below the postcode norm.
