About 1 Church Lane

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

1 Church Lane is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Methley, Leeds, Leeds (LS26 9HN). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63).

Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
