It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1744 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a basement.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
