It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 598 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 48).

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£431/sq ft) was about 39.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
