About Birchmoor

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

Birchmoor is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Turvey, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 8BE). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
