Overview

About 20 Bliss Avenue

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

20 Bliss Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Cranfield, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 0EY). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).
