About 16 Cottesmore Avenue

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

16 Cottesmore Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in Oadby, Leicester, Leicester (LE2 4SX). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.
