About 6 Harrowden Lane
6 Harrowden Lane is a two-bedroom detached house in Bedford (MK42 0RR). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump.
