About 6 The Birches

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

6 The Birches is a four-bedroom detached house in Flitwick, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 1BA). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1596 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since June 2009.
