It has a recorded floor area of 281 m² (around 3025 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band G. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony.

Earlier certificates rated it B (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85).

At 281 m² the property is well over the postcode median (110 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 22 planning records sit against the property, 15 approved, 6 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2006–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year.
