About 13 Kirkstall Close

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

13 Kirkstall Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Elstow, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 9FE). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
