About 5 Ison Close

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

5 Ison Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Biddenham, Bedford, Bedford (MK40 4BH). It has a recorded floor area of 253 m² (around 2723 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).
