On EPC score it ranks last in the building (52 versus a best of 65). The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 25 years, with the last transfer in February 2001. 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 £325,000 sits 128.1% above the 2001 sale of £142,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£158/sq ft) was about 21.6% below the postcode norm. At 84 m² it sits well below the postcode median (231 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
