Get started23 Thorpe Lea Road is a semi-detached house in Peterborough (PE3 6BX). It has a recorded floor area of 150 m² (around 1615 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump.
