About Ivy House

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Ivy House is a three-bedroom detached house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2022) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in December 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £559,000 sits 326.8% above the 1999 sale of £130,985. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2000. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
