About 42 Heather Lea Avenue
42 Heather Lea Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in Sheffield (S17 3DL). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1127 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 45), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
