About 5 Dovehouse Lane

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

5 Dovehouse Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Kensworth, Dunstable, Dunstable (LU6 2PQ). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1398 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 41). Main heating runs on oil.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in July 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
