It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. At 58 m² this is the 21st smallest of 51 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–73 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom.

Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
