The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£805/sq ft) was about 368.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
