Overview

About 8 Cranfield Road

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

8 Cranfield Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Wootton, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 9EB). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1720 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since September 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1999–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £490,000 sits 96% above the 2010 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 38.8% below the postcode norm. At 160 m² it's 25.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (127 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
