It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump.
