About 42 Steppingley Road
42 Steppingley Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Flitwick, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 1AN). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £497,000 sits 80.7% above the 2009 sale of £275,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
