A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
14 Bridgend is a three-bedroom detached house in Carlton, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 7LP). It has a recorded floor area of 205 m² (around 2207 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 14 Bridgend is modelled from its 205 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in MK43 7LP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 14 Bridgend. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 14 Bridgend was lodged in August 2014 at band E and expired in August 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 7 applications are matched to 14 Bridgend. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 17 stops listed are measured in a straight line from MK43 7LP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 14 Bridgend is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
