Overview

About 39 High Street

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

39 High Street is a five-bedroom detached house in Great Barford, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 188 m² (around 2024 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in May 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 188 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £768,000 is 29.1% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£294/sq ft) was about 88.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in May 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
