About 61 River Leys

61 River Leys is a mid-terrace house in Swindon Village, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL51 9SA). It has a recorded floor area of 30 m² (around 323 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. At 30 m² this is the 14th smallest of 55 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 26–63 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top.

Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Average.
