When first surveyed in November 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since.

Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £232,000 sits 78.5% above the 2007 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£205/sq ft) was about 25.3% below the postcode norm. At 59 m² it sits well below the postcode median (95 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
