Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and attached land beyond the plot. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in October 1997. 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 £1,020,000 sits 309.6% above the 1997 sale of £249,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£125/sq ft) was about 52.8% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
