1 Duck End Lane, Maulden, Bedford, MK45 2DL

1 Duck End Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Maulden, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 2DL). It has a recorded floor area of 189 m² (around 2034 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2015. Between certificates, main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since August 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 189 m² the property is well over the postcode median (115 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £674,000 sits 186.8% above the 2000 sale of £235,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£116/sq ft) was about 65.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
