It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88).

Held since December 2007 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 109 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 78 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.1% per year.
