Overview

About 3 Barnes Road

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

3 Barnes Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Wootton, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 9FB). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 96), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since April 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 151 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £579,000 sits 200% above the 2000 sale of £192,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£119/sq ft) was about 16.8% below the postcode norm.
