It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2019) shows a C (score 70).

Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: HMO conversion approved in 2025. Past consents include HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 122 m² it's 17.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (104 m² median across 52 EPCs). Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £174,000 is 43.2% above the 2007 sale price.
