It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump.
