It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2099 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 195 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
