About 30 Dovecote
30 Dovecote is a four-bedroom detached house in Newport Pagnell (MK16 8EG). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1046 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an E (score 52), 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 May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 97 m² the property is well over the postcode median (50 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £427,000 sits 70.8% above the 2011 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£239/sq ft) was about 28.7% below the postcode norm. Last sold in July 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
