About 5 High Street

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

5 High Street is a semi-detached house in Gravenhurst, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 4HY). It has a recorded floor area of 179 m² (around 1927 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil.
