About The Node
The Node is a semi-detached house in Ravensden, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 2RA). It has a recorded floor area of 179 m² (around 1923 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 179 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £582,000 sits 79.1% above the 2009 sale of £325,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£169/sq ft) was about 27.3% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
