About 24 Poplar Road

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

24 Poplar Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Kensworth, Dunstable, Dunstable (LU6 3RS). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E.

The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
