Overview

About 2 Church Lane

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

2 Church Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Flitton, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 5EL). It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2101 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

At 195 m² the property is well over the postcode median (122 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £922,000 sits 74% above the 2013 sale of £530,000. 7 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. On the market in September 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.
