It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1063 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
