About Sunnydene
Sunnydene is a five-bedroom detached house in Arnesby, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5WG). It has a recorded floor area of 312 m² (around 3358 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2025) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
Held since August 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An active application for tree works is awaiting a decision. At 312 m² the property is well over the postcode median (155 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £942,000 sits 438.3% above the 1996 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£52/sq ft) was about 77.6% below the postcode norm.
