About 26 High Street

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

26 High Street is a four-bedroom detached house in Thurleigh, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 2DS). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

At 114 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in May 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years. Across 2008–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £420,000 is 27.3% above the 2014 sale price.
