About 26 High Street

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

26 High Street is a four-bedroom detached house in Thurleigh, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 2DS). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017.
