About 7 Dorset Avenue

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

7 Dorset Avenue is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Glenfield, Leicester, Leicester (LE3 8BD). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B.
