It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 746 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66).

It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

At 69 m² it sits well below the postcode median (131 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.
