About 1 Church Lane
1 Church Lane is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Pavenham, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 7PT). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2018) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.
