It has a recorded floor area of 284 m² (around 3057 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor.
