About Flat 2

Flat 2 is a semi-detached house in Bedford (MK42 9JP). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 71 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 3 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 70–80 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top.
