It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87).
