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

Yew Tree Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Peatling Magna, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5UH). It has a recorded floor area of 290 m² (around 3122 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G.
