About Winchcombe
Winchcombe is a five-bedroom detached house in Yielden, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 1AT). It has a recorded floor area of 285 m² (around 3068 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on oil.
