About 8 Grenfell Road

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

8 Grenfell Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Leicester (LE2 2PA). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump.
