It has a recorded floor area of 203 m² (around 2185 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band G.

Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 203 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £743,000 sits 50.1% above the 2007 sale of £495,000.
