Overview

About Sandfield

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

Sandfield is a detached house in Clophill, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 512 m² (around 5511 sq ft). The latest certificate (October 2018) returns an A (score 99), the top energy band on the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff.

It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 512 m² the property is well over the postcode median (104 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £1,475,000 sits 278.2% above the 2008 sale of £390,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£71/sq ft) was about 63.6% below the postcode norm. 7 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
