About Fox Covert
Fox Covert is a four-bedroom detached house in Yielden, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 1AT). It has a recorded floor area of 206 m² (around 2217 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.

Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
