About 12 Hillcroft Road

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

12 Hillcroft Road is a semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 5DX). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B.
