Overview

About 23 Dorothy Avenue

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

23 Dorothy Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Glen Parva, Leicester, Leicester (LE2 9JE). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 934 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). Main heating runs on wood logs. The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
