The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).

Held since October 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £324,000 sits 116.7% above the 1998 sale of £149,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£323/sq ft) was about 176.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (136 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2005.
