About 8 Brook Lane

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

8 Brook Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Great Barford, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3LU). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 855 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
