Overview

About 15 High Street

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

15 High Street is a four-bedroom detached house in Blunham, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3NL). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 842 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows a G (score 13), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1996–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £691,000 is 12.3% below the 2024 sale of £787,500, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£936/sq ft) was about 247.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 78 m² it sits well below the postcode median (130 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Most recent transfer: August 2024 at £787,500.
