It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2021); the latest reading is one band lower.

At 64 m² it's 19% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (79 m² median across 47 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 is 46.2% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£116/sq ft) was about 41.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold September 2022 for £80,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
