It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 423 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include notable views.

The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 45). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
