Other recorded features include notable views and outbuildings. The latest certificate (July 2013) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average.

Today's modelled estimate of £158,000 is 14.6% below the 2022 sale of £185,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.
