About 4 The Rickyard
4 The Rickyard is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Newton Blossomville, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 8AF). It has a recorded floor area of 445 m² (around 4786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 445 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2025. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£253/sq ft) was about 30% below the postcode norm.
