It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). Main heating runs on electricity. At 58 m² this is the 14th smallest of 50 units on EPC record in Stuart House, where floor areas span 37–82 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 50 units on file. Other recorded features include notable views.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£240/sq ft) was about 41.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
