Overview

About 6 Leiston Close

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

6 Leiston Close is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bedford (MK42 0AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2023) shows a C (score 72).
