About 8 Knighton Road
8 Knighton Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Leicester (LE2 3HH). It has a recorded floor area of 227 m² (around 2443 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 227 m² the property is well over the postcode median (39 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 10 years since the last transfer (February 2016).
