It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 96 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (76–96 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £262,000 is 37.2% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£185/sq ft) was about 19.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
