About Dunster

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

Dunster is a three-bedroom detached house in Bilsby, Alford, Alford (LN13 9PY). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include a conservatory and a self-contained annexe.

At 134 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 42 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in April 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £269,000 is 28.1% above the 2016 sale price.
