About 21 Rowan Way

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

21 Rowan Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0DH). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2022) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since.

Held since May 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
