About 2 Folly Farm

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

2 Folly Farm is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0DL). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2012) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 66), a 2-band jump.
