Local market context
55 Bedford Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Barton-Le-Clay, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4LL). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (January 2017) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump.
