About 1 Grange Close
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). 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 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £482,000 sits 407.4% 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.
