Overview

About 53 Kimbolton Road

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

53 Kimbolton Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bedford (MK40 2PG). It has a recorded floor area of 155 m² (around 1668 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since.
