About 25 Water End
25 Water End is a semi-detached house in Cople, Bedford, Bedford (MK44 3TY). It has a recorded floor area of 188 m² (around 2024 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Main heating runs on oil.

Held since August 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
