Overview

About 17 Beechings Close

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

17 Beechings Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Countesthorpe, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5PA). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
