It has a recorded floor area of 181 m² (around 1948 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75).

Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
