23 Cornwall Road, Bedford, MK40 3DH

23 Cornwall Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Bedford (MK40 3DH). It has a recorded floor area of 237 m² (around 2551 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in February 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record.
