About 18 Court Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Court Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Stevington, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 7QS). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1739 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).
