Overview

About 4 Ashby Drive

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

4 Ashby Drive is a detached house in Barton-Le-Clay, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4SA). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1380 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £529,000 sits 55.6% above the 2009 sale of £340,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£246/sq ft) was about 71.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
