22a is a four-bedroom detached house in Clophill, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 235 m² (around 2530 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
