It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 98), a 3-band jump.
