The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85).

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 123 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £619,000 sits 96.5% above the 2007 sale of £315,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 1 refused.
