About Police House

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

Police House is a two-bedroom detached house in Barton-Le-Clay, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 204 m² (around 2196 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. Other recorded features include notable views. The latest certificate (June 2024) shows a C (score 72).

It hasn't traded since May 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2000. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
