It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 759 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 43).

Held since July 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.
