The latest certificate (January 2012) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69).

Today's modelled estimate of £20,000 is 90.8% below the 2021 sale of £217,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look.
