It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 892 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.

It hasn't traded since June 2005, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1996–2005, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £364,000 sits 51.7% above the 2005 sale of £240,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
