About 2 Barkby Lane

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

2 Barkby Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Syston, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 2BA). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62).
