It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in December 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
