It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C.

Other recorded features include outbuildings. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £420,000 sits 95.3% above the 2007 sale of £215,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£210/sq ft) was about 29.6% below the postcode norm. At 95 m² it's 18.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 23 EPCs).
