9 Copthorne Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Oakley, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 7SQ). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D.

The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
