It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B.

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89). The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 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. Across 2007–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at -46% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £204,000 sits 215.1% above the 2008 sale of £64,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£95/sq ft) was about 33.5% below the postcode norm. At 63 m² it sits well below the postcode median (98 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
