About Alvediston
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Alvediston is a three-bedroom detached house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0BA). It has a recorded floor area of 227 m² (around 2443 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average. Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include notable views. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 227 m² the property is well over the postcode median (139 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £682,000 sits 172.8% above the 2009 sale of £250,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Alvediston is modelled from its 227 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 0BA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Alvediston. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Alvediston was lodged in April 2026 at band C and is valid until April 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Alvediston. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 19 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK43 0BA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Alvediston is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
