It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 677 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include notable views. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a G (score 17), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
