It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1433 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
