It has a recorded floor area of 165 m² (around 1776 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E.

Held since April 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£41/sq ft) was about 81.1% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused.
