Overview

About 16 Brightwell Avenue

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

16 Brightwell Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in Totternhoe, Dunstable, Dunstable (LU6 1QT). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1182 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since April 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £505,000 sits 68.3% above the 2009 sale of £300,000. At 110 m² it's 28.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (154 m² median across 17 EPCs).
