About 6 Brackley Road

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

6 Brackley Road is a semi-detached house in Bedford (MK42 9SD). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.
