About This Property
This semi-detached flat is located in BEDFORD, MK45 2JZ. The property offers 66.89m² (720 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (73/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler.
