About 7 Mareth Road
7 Mareth Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bedford (MK42 0DB). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).
