Overview

About 2 Church End

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

2 Church End is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 8RH). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 577 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a G (score 16), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 54 m² it sits well below the postcode median (246 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £249,000 sits 99.2% above the 2011 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 16.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
