It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2015. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 123 m² the property is well over the postcode median (94 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £502,000 sits 277.4% above the 1999 sale of £133,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£100/sq ft) was about 58.9% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
