Overview

About 1 Avon Rise

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

1 Avon Rise is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Flitwick, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 1SQ). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a corner plot.

Last sale on file: £362,500 in August 2021. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016.
