About 9 Bruce Road

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

9 Bruce Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 7EU). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
