5 Douthwaite Square is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Tower Hamlets, London, London (E1W 2UZ). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold.

Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).
