About 2 Council Houses
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Council Houses is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Souldrop, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 1HE). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and outbuildings.
