It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area.

The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
