It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. At 93 m² this is the 10th smallest of 13 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 60–242 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 13 units on file.
