Overview

About 6 Vicarage Lane

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

6 Vicarage Lane is a two-bedroom detached house in Barkby, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 3QN). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 468 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (64 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
