It has a recorded floor area of 273 m² (around 2944 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57).

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). 5 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Most recent transfer: June 2021 at £1,170,000.
