Overview

About Manor Lodge

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Manor Lodge is a five-bedroom detached house in Bromham, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 8JA). It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2099 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since May 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 195 m² the property is well over the postcode median (136 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £743,000 is 48.9% above the 2007 sale price.
