Overview

About 1 Old Way

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

1 Old Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Bletsoe, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 1QG). It has a recorded floor area of 167 m² (around 1800 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

12 planning records sit against the property, 8 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Today's modelled estimate of £619,000 is 44% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£239/sq ft) was about 144.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2013, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
