It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
