Overview

About 139 Grange Road

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

139 Grange Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Blunham, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3NT). It has a recorded floor area of 178 m² (around 1916 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (December 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2010–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £635,000 is 20.4% above the 2015 sale price.
