About 34 Berry Drive

34 Berry Drive is a semi-detached house in Bromham, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 8QA). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since.
