About 1 Manor Farm Close
1 Manor Farm Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Barton-Le-Clay, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4TB). It has a recorded floor area of 210 m² (around 2260 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band G. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since May 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 210 m² the property is well over the postcode median (149 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £818,000 sits 349.5% above the 1995 sale of £182,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 59.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
