About 17 Bunyans Mead

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

17 Bunyans Mead is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Elstow, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 9XY). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record.

The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
