About Twelvetree Farm
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Twelvetree Farm is a four-bedroom detached house in Yielden, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 1AU). It has a recorded floor area of 243 m² (around 2616 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 243 m² the property is well over the postcode median (170 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £783,000 sits 56.9% above the 2014 sale of £499,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£191/sq ft) was about 18.9% below the postcode norm. 10 planning records sit against the property, 8 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include new windows and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in April 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Twelvetree Farm is modelled from its 243 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in MK44 1AU. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Twelvetree Farm. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Twelvetree Farm was lodged in June 2013 at band D and expired in June 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 10 applications are matched to Twelvetree Farm. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from MK44 1AU. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Twelvetree Farm is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
