It has a recorded floor area of 178 m² (around 1921 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F.

Held since February 1996 — that's 30 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. At 178 m² the property is well over the postcode median (121 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £511,000 sits 229.8% above the 1996 sale of £154,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 23.5% below the postcode norm.
