Overview

About 2 Vine Cottages

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

2 Vine Cottages is a semi-detached house in Kempston Hardwick, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 9NT). It has a recorded floor area of 163 m² (around 1755 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 1998 — that's 28 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. Today's modelled estimate of £572,000 sits 376.7% above the 1998 sale of £120,000.
