It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold.

The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83).
