About Montana Cottage
Montana Cottage is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Keyham, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 9JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2022. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area.
