About 35 Chantry Avenue
35 Chantry Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 7QX). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C.

The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
