It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump.
