5 Shakespeare Drive is a detached house in Upper Caldecote, Biggleswade, Biggleswade (SG18 9DD). It has a recorded floor area of 164 m² (around 1768 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 1999 — that's 26 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 164 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £465,000 sits 210.1% above the 1999 sale of £149,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 54.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
