About 8 Brook Lane

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

8 Brook Lane is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Harrold, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 7BW). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 629 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B.

Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
