The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 39).

Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 131 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 7 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 £745,000 sits 50.5% above the 2009 sale of £495,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£351/sq ft) was about 66.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2014.
