About Larkleigh
Larkleigh is a detached house in Prickwillow, Ely, Ely (CB7 4UP). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1976-1982. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump.
