About 20 Castle Close

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

20 Castle Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Totternhoe, Dunstable, Dunstable (LU6 1QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
