It has a recorded floor area of 310 m² (around 3337 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83).
