Overview

About 21 Cromwell Road

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

21 Cromwell Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Barton-Le-Clay, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4PU). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2021) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £393,000 sits 82.8% above the 2009 sale of £215,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
