Overview

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.
