It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a C (score 72). Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area.
