Overview

About Golden Grove

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

Golden Grove is a three-bedroom detached house in Bolnhurst, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 2EL). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in April 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £411,000 is 30.9% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£247/sq ft) was about 61.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused.
