About 47 Cardington Road

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

47 Cardington Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bedford (MK42 0BT).

The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
