About 3 Cottesmore Avenue
3 Cottesmore Avenue is a six-bedroom detached house in Oadby, Leicester, Leicester (LE2 4SX). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and outbuildings.
