About 4 Brackley Road

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

4 Brackley Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bedford (MK42 9SD). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2017) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
