It has a recorded floor area of 400 m² (around 4306 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 58), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and attached land beyond the plot.
