Overview

About 3 Cranfield Road

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

3 Cranfield Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Wootton, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 9EB). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 70 m² it sits well below the postcode median (131 m² across 8 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. Most recent transfer: September 2022 at £260,000.
