Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2009); the latest reading is one band lower.

Main heating runs on electricity.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in October 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 59 m² it's 20.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (49 m² median across 87 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 90% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £154,000 is 18.5% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£205/sq ft) was about 19.9% below the postcode norm.
