About 26a

26a is a four-bedroom detached house in Flitton, Bedford, Bedford (MK45 5DT). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).
