The latest certificate (July 2021) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £123,000 sits 52.2% above the 2007 sale of £80,802. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£121/sq ft) was about 27.7% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
