It has a recorded floor area of 164 m² (around 1767 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70).

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 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.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£207/sq ft) was about 21.2% below the postcode norm. At 164 m² it's 21.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (135 m² median across 12 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2015.
