7 Barley Close is a detached house in Whetstone, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 6PF). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft) and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2015) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
