Overview

About 16 Ailesbury Road

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

16 Ailesbury Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Ampthill, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 2XB). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2018) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average.

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £462,000 sits 91.3% above the 2007 sale of £241,500. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
