It has a recorded floor area of 208 m² (around 2239 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a C (score 72). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
