21 Ashby Drive, Barton Le Clay, Bedford, MK45 4SA

21 Ashby Drive is a detached house in Barton-Le-Clay, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4SA). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2015. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), 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 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. Today's modelled estimate of £507,000 sits 207.3% above the 2000 sale of £165,000. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2016. Past consents include a garage conversion, 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).
