About 3 4 Marsh Leys Cottages

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

3 4 Marsh Leys Cottages is a three-bedroom detached house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 9AB). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1088 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59).
