Overview

About 32 Bedford Road

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

32 Bedford Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Clophill, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4AE). It has a recorded floor area of 235 m² (around 2530 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Held since May 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 235 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2004–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £852,000 sits 81.3% above the 2008 sale of £470,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include change of use to residential and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
