Overview

About 3 Cedars Courtyard

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

3 Cedars Courtyard is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ampthill, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 2JW). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. At 51 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (51–65 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (October 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Good to Poor.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £202,000 is 44.3% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£255/sq ft) was about 23.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
