About 12d
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12d is a four-bedroom detached house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0DA). It has a recorded floor area of 330 m² (around 3552 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2024) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since September 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 330 m² the property is well over the postcode median (152 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 82% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £857,000 sits 435.6% above the 2008 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£45/sq ft) was about 82.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
