It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 417 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
