It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 41 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 33–93 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top.

Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 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. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 22.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £109,000 sits 107.6% above the 2007 sale of £52,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£119/sq ft) was about 224.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 41 m² it sits well below the postcode median (81 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
