About 7 Heather Way
7 Heather Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Countesthorpe, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 5WU). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2013. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 139 m² it's 26.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (110 m² median across 7 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £377,000 is 23.6% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£204/sq ft) was about 37.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold February 2021 for £305,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
