Overview

About 8 Brinsmade Road

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

8 Brinsmade Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Ampthill, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 2PP). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1115 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 104 m² it sits well below the postcode median (165 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2012–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 25.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £902,000 is 34.2% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£603/sq ft) was about 101.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in May 2015.
