8 Crawley Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0AB). It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2097 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump.
