About 21 Wootton Road

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

21 Wootton Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK43 9BH). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E.
