About The Old Farm House
The Old Farm House is a five-bedroom detached house in Haynes, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 3RD). It has a recorded floor area of 309 m² (around 3326 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and attached land beyond the plot.
