The latest certificate (December 2021) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). 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. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£249/sq ft) was about 52.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 51 m² it's 19% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 29 EPCs).
