20 Ashby Drive is a detached house in Barton-Le-Clay, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4SA). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 1996, a hold of 30 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. Today's modelled estimate of £489,000 sits 431.5% above the 1996 sale of £92,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£68/sq ft) was about 56% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs).
