It has a recorded floor area of 202 m² (around 2173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 54). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
