Overview

About 21 Mill Lane

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

21 Mill Lane is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Clophill, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4BX). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 5 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (80 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2006–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.9% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£509/sq ft) was about 69.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: July 2022 at £285,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
