About 7 Close Road

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

7 Close Road is a semi-detached house in Pavenham, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 7PP). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
