About Apartment 2
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Apartment 2 is a semi-detached house in Bedford (MK42 9JR). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 64 m² this is the 4th smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 59–113 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom.
