About 2 Barford Road

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

2 Barford Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Willington, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3QP). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (December 2021) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71).

It hasn't traded since January 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area.
