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

3 Bolingbroke Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU1 5JD). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B.
