About 27 Wootton Road
27 Wootton Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 9BH). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a G (score 5), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 61), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.
At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (134 m² across 14 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. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2007–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £357,000 is 27.5% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£448/sq ft) was about 110.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
