Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 74 m² the property is well over the postcode median (49 m² across 41 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £228,000 is 21.9% above the 2009 sale price.
