It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2102 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70).

Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
