Overview

About 3 Ampthill Road

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

3 Ampthill Road is a five-bedroom property in Silsoe, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4DX). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft) and council tax band F. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 102 m² this is the 5th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 73–375 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 23 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2014. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £639,000 sits 50.4% above the 2006 sale of £425,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£387/sq ft) was about 27.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 102 m² it sits well below the postcode median (150 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
