Local market context
36 Churchill Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Stewartby, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 9LU). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2021) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.
It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £367,000 sits 63.1% above the 2007 sale of £225,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£279/sq ft) was about 53.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 75 m² it's 26.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (102 m² median across 14 EPCs).
