It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 944 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
