It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1692 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61).
