Overview

About 2 Chandos Road

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

2 Chandos Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Ampthill, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 2LF). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1652 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

It hasn't traded since January 2011, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 153 m² the property is well over the postcode median (110 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £740,000 sits 52.6% above the 2011 sale of £485,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£294/sq ft) was about 30.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: a loft conversion refused in 2006.
