The latest certificate (February 2010) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71).

Held since April 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 sits 331.4% above the 1997 sale of £51,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£150/sq ft) was about 60.5% below the postcode norm. At 32 m² it sits well below the postcode median (56 m² across 81 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
