It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A.

Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2008, 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 £110,000 is 37.5% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£152/sq ft) was about 38.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 49 m² it's 22.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 16 EPCs).
