About 17 Bancroft Road

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

17 Bancroft Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Luton (LU3 2NB). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B.
