About 23 Willow Springs

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

23 Willow Springs is a four-bedroom detached house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0DS). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1248 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
