About 12 Townsend Close

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

12 Townsend Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1099 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70).
