It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 784 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).

Today's modelled estimate of £260,000 sits 54.3% above the 2006 sale of £168,500.
