Overview

About 6 Folly Farm

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

6 Folly Farm is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0DL). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Across 2014–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £332,000 is 12.5% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£347/sq ft) was about 52.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold June 2021 for £295,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
