About 17 Dukes Road
17 Dukes Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Ampthill, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 2TB). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£290/sq ft) was about 18.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020.
