Local market context
Lower Glade is a four-bedroom detached house in Stevington, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 7QS). It has a recorded floor area of 290 m² (around 3122 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band G. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 290 m² the property is well over the postcode median (128 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2007–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.8% per year.
