Overview

About 3 Graces Close

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

3 Graces Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 937 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2011) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Across 1997–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £374,000 sits 65.5% above the 2011 sale of £226,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in August 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years. At 87 m² it's 18.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (107 m² median across 11 EPCs).
