The latest certificate (October 2011) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £178,000 is 80.2% below the 2022 sale of £900,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works.

At 27 m² it sits well below the postcode median (153 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold January 2022 for £900,000.
