About 2 Newtown Street
2 Newtown Street is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Leicester (LE1 6WJ). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66).
