It has a recorded floor area of 184 m² (around 1985 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump.
