It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. At 51 m² this is the 4th smallest of 42 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 44–120 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 42 units on file. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 41 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2004–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.7% per year.
