It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 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. At 128 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £244,000 is 39.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£127/sq ft) was about 15.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
