1 Grange Close, Oakley, Bedford, MK43 7TE

1 Grange Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Oakley, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 7TE). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since March 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 137 m² the property is well over the postcode median (61 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £485,000 sits 410.5% above the 1996 sale of £95,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£64/sq ft) was about 63.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
